Rounding out the cast are Christine Ebersole, Ciarán Hinds, Peyton Manning and Amy Sedaris. "Is This Thing On?" is penned by Cooper, Mark Chappell and Arnett. Cooper also serves as producer alongside Weston Middleton under their Lea Pictures banner, alongside Arnett and Kris Thykier.
Ahead of its theatrical release, the dramatic comedy will hold its world premiere at the New York Film Festival during the event's closing night on Oct. 10 at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall.
"We are honored and humbled to premiere our film at the New York Film Festival," Cooper said. "Earlier this year, we had the wonderful opportunity to shoot this story all throughout the city, so it's very exciting to debut it on the closing evening of the festival. NYC injects an energy into every aspect of filmmaking that just can't be replicated."
"Is This Thing On?" marks Cooper's third directorial feature behind "A Star Is Born" and "Maestro." Other notable films with Cooper in front of the camera include "Silver Linings Playbook," "American Sniper" and "American Hustle."
