He played a young version of a Steven Spielberg type director, so Gabriel LaBelle is sure to kill it as Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels.

LaBelle was chosen to portray Michaels in SNL 1975, an origin story of long-running late night sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. Jason Reitman is directing the movie, from a script he wrote with Gil Kenan. The screenplay comes from extensive of interviews conducted by Reitman and Kenan with all the surviving cast, writers and crew from the show’s early days.

The film’s synopsis reads, “On October 11th, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. This is the true story of what happened that night behind the scenes in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of SNL. The chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, as we countdown the minutes in real time to the infamous words, ‘Live From New York, it’s Saturday Night.’”

La Belle joins Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza) who plays then-NBC exec Dick Ebersol, and Rachel Sennott (Bottoms) who will play Rosie Shuster an SNL writer who was married to Michaels from 1971-1980. Ebersol took over producing for Michaels for a few years in the 1980s, but Michaels has been there since 1985.

Kenan and Reitman are also the creative team behind Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which stars original Saturday Night Live Cast Members Dan Akroyd and Bill Murray. Akroyd was one of the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players, and Murray joined in the show’s second season, after the departure of Chevy Chase.

The other original cast members were Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, John Belushi, Gilda Radner and Garrett Morris. Belushi and Radner have since passed away.

Michaels, who still serves as the show’s producers, told Entertainment Tonight that the approaching 50th anniversary of the sketch series has inspired thoughts of ending his run as the show’s head.

“Of course I’ve thought about it,” Michaels said in the interview. “We’re doing the 50th anniversary show in February [20]25. So, I will definitely be there for that and definitely be there until then. And then we’ll figure out what we’re going to do.”

No casting information has been released for Akroyd, Belushi, Radner, and the rest of the show’s initial cast as of yet.
