But not the way they’ve done it in the past. Instead, Hollywood is making a movie about SNL itself, specifically the very early days and the first night of broadcast. They’ve cast all of the original cast members with young people, and the trailer makes this movie — Saturday Night — look pretty darn good.

Will it be weird that most of the original cast are still alive? And will get to watch this movie, if they so choose? I think it will be. But that’s never stopped a good biopic before. It’s time we all got to know the seedy underbelly of the original Saturday Night Live!

Saturday Night comes to theaters on Oct. 11.
