Jason Reitman
1977 (47 лет)He was born in Montreal, Quebec, as the first child of Ivan Reitman, a Canadian director of Jewish heritage, and Geneviève Robert, a French-Canadian actress. Jason has two younger sisters, Catherine and Caroline. His father directed popular films like Ghostbusters, Twins, and Junior. At age 16, Jason described himself as a "loser, movie fanatic, and shy." In the late 1980s, he began making small film appearances and working as his father’s assistant on movie sets, spending considerable time in editing rooms to learn the craft. In his early 20s, he received offers to direct large commercial projects but chose instead to work on short films and ads, turning down major proposals like Dude, Where's My Car?.
From 2004 to 2014, he was married to writer Michele Lee, whom he met while working on his short film Consent, where they co-wrote the script. The couple welcomed a child in 2006. Reitman identifies as a libertarian.

Saturday Night
Jason Reitman
Gabriel LaBelle, Rachel Sennott
On October 11, 1975, Lorne Michaels prepares for the chaotic first episode of NBC's Saturday Night as tensions run high behind the scenes. With network executives on edge and ready to pull the plug, Michaels faces pressure from his boss, Dick Ebersol, and lack of faith from Johnny Carson. Cast and crew members are on shaky ground: Garrett Morris questions his fit in a comedic cast; John Belushi is defiant; Chevy Chase faces conflicts; and writer Jim Henson feels slighted. As misunderstandings, disagreements, and last-minute crises unfold, Michaels finds a spark of hope in writer Alan Zweibel and performer Andy Kaufman. With the pressure mounting, the team scrambles to finalize the sets and sketches, and despite the obstacles, the episode airs, marking a bold start to what becomes an iconic show.
