Jason Reitman

“Lorne has not seen the movie yet,” Reitman revealed to Deadline at the Toronto International Film Festival. “Lorne is someone who always looks forward. I think it’s part of his genius”

The Jason Reitman film’s wide release is still pegged to the 49th anniversary of SNL’s series premiere on October 11th, but as Variety reports, it’s now getting a three-step platform release, landing exclusively in L.A., N.Y. and Toronto on Sept. 27, followed by a limited release on Oct. 4.

“Lorne wasn’t involved throughout the process,” Morris, who plays original cast member Garrett Morris in Saturday Night, said on Rob Lowe’s Literally podcast. But Reitman did get “the blessing from everyone,” said Morris,” adding that “everyone was cool about it.” [via JM McNab at Cracked]
