Saturday Night Interview: Rachel Sennott, Dylan O’Brien and Gabrielle Labelle

Gabriel LaBelle broke out as the lead in Steven Spielberg's The Fablemans, garnering him several prestigious awards. When director Jason Reitman saw LaBelle holding his own against the legendary filmmaker, he knew he’d found his Lorne Michaels. Rachel Sennott is an incredible talent, gaining an enormous fanbase from popular movies like Shiva Baby and Bottoms. After starring in the wildly popular Teen Wolf and Maze Runner series, Dylan O’Brien has gone on to lead several films. Now, the three are joining an ensemble cast to portray the heavy hitters of early SNL in Reitman’s upcoming biopic Saturday Night.
Saturday Night is a real-time, narrative recreation of the chaotic premiere of Saturday Night Live in 1975. At the center is young Lorne Michaels (played by LaBelle) as he excitedly corrals writers like Rosie Shuster (played by Sennott), a wild studio set, and up-and-coming talent, including Dan Akroyd (played by O’Brien), among a lively and large cast.
Ahead of the film's release, LaBelle, Sennott, and O’Brien joined Collider’s Steve Weintraub to chat about all things Saturday Night, including what it’s like to act against Willem Dafoe, not wanting to show up to work on difficult shoot days, and being constantly impressed by the sheer talent of their co-stars.
