Set to hit theaters on December 19, ‘Is This Thing On?’ will have its grand premiere as the closing-night feature of the prestigious New York Film Festival on October 10 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. Cooper expressed his excitement, stating, “We are honored and humbled to premiere this film at NYFF. NYC injects an energy into filmmaking that just can’t be replicated.”

An All-Star Cast and Creative Team

The film boasts an impressive lineup, including Cooper himself, Andra Day, Amy Sedaris, Sean Hayes, Christine Ebersole, Ciarán Hinds, and Scott Icenogle. It’s produced by Weston Middleton, Kris Thykier, and the dynamic duo behind the script: Cooper and Arnett, alongside Mark Chappell. Notably, British comedian John Bishop inspired the story and serves as an executive producer.

More Than Just a Movie

Cooper describes ‘Is This Thing On?’ as “not a midlife crisis but a midlife catharsis.” He elaborated, “Sometimes you realize you’re coasting and you’ve lost your rudder and your North Star in life. That realization can take a toll on everyone around you.” This powerful message aims to resonate with viewers on a personal level.
