The Big Picture Filming on SNL 1975, the dramatic retelling of Saturday Night Live's chaotic opening night, began in earnest at the beginning of last week with Jason Reitman at the helm.
Is 'SNL 1975' Based on a True Story? Kenan added the film took some creative liberties with certain aspects of what happened behind the scenes. Condensing timeframes is a sensible move when putting together a screenplay, plus, there are so many wild stories from the history of SNL, there's no need to have to make anything up.
"We would finish each of those interviews and Jason and I would just stare at each other for minutes after it, just processing the stories we just heard, and filled notebooks with them. By the time it came down to writing that thing, we just exploded. We had so many stories, so many moments we were bursting to put on camera. We just couldn't wait to do it."
