[WATCH] The long-awaited ‘Saturday Night Live’ movie trailer

Long-time fans of the acclaimed late-night comedy sketch show “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) are finally getting a chance to see alleged origins of the show.

Sony Pictures Entertainment released the trailer late last week for “Saturday Night,” the upcoming biopic based on the first show for SNL.

“They have 90 minutes to get their sh*t together,” reads the description for “Saturday Night,” based on the first SNL episode in 1975. Having a cuss word in an official, public description is pretty surprising, especially since the film seems centered on Lorne Michaels (played by Gabriel LaBelle).

“Chevy Chase! Gilda Radner! And Dan — how the f*ck do you pronounce this?” says Brian Welch as Don Pardo, SNL’s long-time announcer. He’s of course talking about Dan Aykroyd, one of the famed original cast members of the hit late-night show.

Here’s a snippet of one review of the movie:

“Chaos, carnage, running around like headless chickens and a huge amount of swearing follows the rest of the trailer, which doesn’t seem to paint a particularly nice picture of Chase, Michaels or pretty much anyone involved in the “SNL” circus.”

Another review said:

Knowing Michaels, this movie has the potential to make us laugh out loud at the clearly crass comedy, give us goosebumps as we watch an American institution be born. And then we’ll probably cry afterwards when we remember how annoyingly politically correct SNL can be these days, though not all the time.

The all-star ensemble cast include Dylan O’Brien as Aykroyd, Cory Michael Smith as Chase, Nicholas Braun as Jim Henson, Finn Wolfhard as an NBC page, Willem Dafoe as David Tebet and Kaia Gerber as Jacqueline Carlin, to name a few.

The movie is out in theaters Oct. 11.

Here’s a sneak peek the long-awaited trailer:
