Chris Cooper’s upcoming film “Is This Thing On?” has just added another Oscar-nominated actress, Andra Day. While details of her role are still under wraps, the addition highlights a star-studded cast that also includes Will Arnett and Laura Dern.
Cooper will take on a supporting role in the movie, marking a departure from his previous lead roles. Instead, Arnett and Dern play a couple navigating the unraveling of their marriage. Sean Hayes also joins the cast in a secondary role.
The film’s logline suggests Cooper’s new movie will explore themes of love, identity, and co-parenting, much like Woody Allen’s classic “Annie Hall.” With an impressive 12 Oscar nominations under his belt, Cooper is hoping to finally take home an award. While not directing or acting in the lead role, Cooper’s directorial efforts may receive a nod from the Academy.
The addition of Day and Dern to the cast will undoubtedly boost Cooper’s chances. However, it remains to be seen whether “Is This Thing On?” will finally be the movie that secures him an Oscar win.
