“Oh honey, I had no idea your life was this bad… This is why she threw you out!” Ha! The best line in this trailer. Searchlight Pictures has unveiled the first look teaser trailer for Is This Thing On?, the next new film directed by actor turned filmmaker Bradley Cooper, following A Star is Born and Maestro before. This next one is skipping Venice & TIFF and will instead premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival as the big Closing Night premiere in October. With a release set for December. As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex faces middle age and an impending divorce, seeking new purpose in the New York comedy scene; while his soon-the-be-ex-wife Tess confronts the sacrifices she made for their family—forcing them to navigate co-parenting, identity, and whether love can take on a new form. Director Bradley Cooper’s beautifully lived-in third feature is both lacerating and sweet-souled, funny, and tender. Inspired by the true story of British comedian John Bishop. The very dry comedy stars Will Arnett as Alex and Laura Dern as Tess, with Andra Day, Bradley Cooper, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes, Christine Ebersole, Ciarán Hinds, and Scott Icenogle. Not the funniest trailer, but I’ll be watching this anyway whenever it opens later this year. // Continue Reading ›
