Bradley Cooper‘s forthcoming feature Is This Thing On? has landed a prime holiday season release date from Searchlight Pictures.
The film hits theaters Dec. 19 following its premiere at the New York Film Festival on Oct. 10. The movie stars Will Arnett, Laura Dern, Cooper, Andra Day, Sean Hayes, Amy Sedaris and Ciarán Hinds.
Is This Thing On? centers on Alex (Arnett) and Tess (Dern), who attempt to navigate their divorce as Alex changes his career path to pursue a life as a confessional stand-up comedian in New York City. The life of British comedian John Bishop inspired the movie’s story.
Cooper helmed the feature from a script he co-wrote with Arnett and Mark Chappell. Is This Thing On? marks Cooper’s directorial follow-up to 2023’s Maestro, which he also co-wrote and starred in as conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein.
Vanity Fair was first to report on the release date.
More to come.
