James Franco‘s NYU student film from 2010 entitled “Saturday Night”, a behind-the-scenes look at one week of production at Saturday Night Live, and the inner workings of the NBC staple series. The film was originally sold to Adam Yauch’s independent film production and distribution company, Oscilloscope Laborites.

Franco recounts how the death of the Beastie Boys’ front man has affected business:

“all of the projects with Oscilloscope were kind of tied up in a weird way.” Saturday Night has now been sold to Focus Features and Franco assures “we’re just working out the final logistics, and it will come out.”

We’ll keep you posted on updates on the promising documentary.
