'Destined for the top': Eugene Levy remembers friend, filmmaker Ivan Reitman
CTV
Actor and comedian Eugene Levy remembers his long-time friend Ivan Reitman as a 'born producer' who 'went on to literally change the face of comedy in Hollywood.'
“We all knew he was destined to be a great producer and director,” Levy said in an interview with CTV News Chief Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme. “He was destined for great things—we knew that in school.”
Levy and Reitman met in the late 1960s at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. Reitman would go on to produce or direct comedy classics like Animal House, Ghostbusters and Kindergarten Cop.
He died Feb. 12 at age 75.
At McMaster, Levy remembers Reitman transforming their “underground” student film group into “a club that actually made money.”
