The Trailer for Saturday Night

This video contains NSFW language. The new movie Saturday Night is about the beginning of the TV show Saturday Night Live, or actually the run up to the first show on October 11, 1975. It was an audacious idea, doing cutting-edge comedy in a live broadcast with an ensemble of young unknown improvisational actors and counterculture writers. No one involved with the production had any idea if it would work. We know it did, because SNL is going into its 50th season next month. But what everyone wants to see in this trailer was whether they could cast young actors that could pull off the unforgettable real characters: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman, and Chevy Chase, plus Lorne Michaels, who is still running the show. It looks like they did pretty well, since they don't have to introduce any of them. Saturday Night will open on October 11 at a theater near you. -via Digg
