Saturday Night Live – known as ‘SNL’ for time-saving purposes – has been a cornerstone of American television for over half a century. Ever since the first episode hit screens in 1975, Lorne Michaels and his merry band of misfits have brought laughs, tears, and controversy in equal measure.
One of the staples of the SNL format for years has been the humble movie parody. Given the show has played host (quite literally) to some of the biggest film stars of all time, it’s not surprising that Hollywood has so often been a target for the writer’s room.
There have been countless trailers for fake films produced by the SNL team over the years, some of which look more appealing than the movies themselves.
Classic kids TV reimagined, a music-themed thriller, and a horror film with a twist are just some of the hilarious ideas we wish could be more than just a four-minute sketch. If you’re a wealthy producer looking for your next project, you know what to do.
