Source tell Deadline, Reitman is set to direct an untitled original screenplay for Sony which is based on the real-life behind the scenes accounts of the opening night of Saturday Night Live.

How Long until we read that the originals are going to have some kind of cameo in this film?

Aykroyd was never as hunky as O'Brien is so I'm intrigued to see how that's going to work out lol.
