As a seasoned gamer with a soft spot for nostalgia and a deep appreciation for behind-the-scenes stories, I can’t wait to catch “Saturday Night” this weekend! Dan Aykroyd’s glowing endorsement has piqued my interest, especially since he was there for the original SNL premiere. If it’s good enough for the man who brought us The Coneheads and The Festrunk Brothers, then count me in!
Among the highly anticipated films set for release this weekend is the movie titled “Saturday Night“, which has recently garnered significant acclaim from a highly respected critic. Known for playing Dan Aykroyd in the film depicting the behind-the-scenes events leading up to the first episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975, Dylan O’Brien described it as a “standalone masterpiece” that he believes could potentially win an Oscar.
With viewers now able to watch Jason Reitman’s “Saturday Night” firsthand, Dan Aykroyd expressed his thoughts on the film via his social media platform, previously known as Twitter, using these exact words:
Cracking a Head to applaud Jason Reitman’s triumphant SNL film. Wow! What a propulsive, engaging, funny, beautifully cast and acted, suspenseful, adventurous, music-filled ride. A perfect window into the creative process at its highest level. Pretty accurate too. I was there that night and got to relive it wonderfully again. Congratulations Gil, Jason and Blumie. Don’t miss it whether you know the show or not. It is a stand-alone masterpiece and surefire candidate for Best Picture.
It’s quite a validation for Saturday Night! Just as Dan Aykroyd portrayed in the film and confirmed himself, he was present for the very first episode of SNL alongside other comedy legends like Chevy Chase, Gilda Radner, John Belushi, and Garrett Morris. If you were initially doubtful about the movie’s accuracy, it’s now been confirmed by someone who lived it that it’s “quite accurate.
Dan Aykroyd appears to have relished revisiting old times as he recounts the groundbreaking day that Saturday Night eternally commemorates. The film focuses on the uninterrupted 90 minutes leading up to the debut of the iconic sketch show. Dan Aykroyd’s appearance on the premiere of SNL sparked a four-year period (1975-1979) in his life, during which he played some of the most memorable recurring characters on the show, such as The Coneheads, The Festrunk Brothers (with Steve Martin), and Irwin Mainway.
Dan Aykroyd’s stint at Saturday Night Live significantly contributed to his subsequent success in Hollywood. He collaborated with John Belushi on The Blues Brothers, Bill Murray in the Ghostbusters films, and Eddie Murphy on Trading Places. Interestingly, Ivan Reitman, who directed the Ghostbusters cast, is the father of Jason Reitman, a filmmaker associated with Saturday Night Live. Remarkably, both Aykroyd and Jason Reitman worked together in the more recent Ghostbusters movies as well.
During the debut screening of Saturday Night, it was Bill Murray who graced the stage to present the film. The fact that actors from the original TV series are endorsing this movie is a promising sign. However, it’s not just the actors’ endorsements that make Saturday Night stand out; the film is also receiving rave reviews from both critics and viewers.
