Here’s the trailer for Saturday Night, the SNL movie from director Jason Reitman, who co-wrote it along with Gil Kenan. It’s about the 90 minutes behind the scenes before the first ever episode of Saturday Night Live.

It features an interesting cast of familiar faces and lesser-knowns. Nicholas Braun from Succession, for instance, plays Jim Henson AND Andy Kaufman, Dylan O’Brien plays Dan Aykroyd, Lamorne Morris plays Garrett Morris, and most impressively — based on the trailer — Ella Hunt plays Gilda Radner. The cast also includes Matthew Rhys, Kaia Gerber, Willem Dafoe, J.K. Simmons, and Rachel Sennott, among others.

Saturday Night hits theaters on October 11th and, I suspect, will make an awards season push.
