Reitman has taken on his biggest challenge as a filmmaker, moving into non-fiction terrain with Saturday Night. Pic covers the 90 frantic minutes before the launch of an iconic TV show that turns 50 next year, Saturday Night mixes facts you never knew about that historic night with a propulsive narrative driven by the challenges that faced creator Lorne Michaels. Judging by the early fest reviews, Reitman has made an exceptional chronicle of that evening in Studio 8H of Rockefeller Center. Sony Pictures begins rolling out the film this Friday in New York and Los Angeles, and it opens wide October 11.
