Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night will premiere, yes, on Saturday night here at the Telluride Film Festival. It’s long been one of my most highly anticipated films of the year, and I hope it’s one of the highlights of this year’s festival. I do believe it will play like gangbusters for this crowd as it feels like an appropriate break from the very heavy content planned.
Anyway, here’s an interesting featurette that gives us a look at how Reitman and team recreated 30 Rock in 1975, how they’re using period-specific cameras, and other small details (including the Jon Batista score) that make me think Saturday Night could be a much bigger crafts player than I’d originally thought.
