Bradley Cooper directs Will Arnett in his third film, Is This Thing On?
The new movie, which arrives in theaters on Friday, tells the story of a marriage falling apart. It follows Arnett’s Alex, who copes with the grief of separating from his wife Tess, played by Laura Dern, by becoming a stand-up comedian.
Arnett and Dern participated in a press conference after a screening of Is This Thing On? at the 2025 New York Film Festival, where they spoke about the process of creating this new film.
Arnett, who is a comedian himself, said he purposefully played Alex to be less funny than he is in real life.
“That progression of Alex as a stand-up was really important to us,” Arnett said. “He’s not the Michael Jordan of comedy. So, the first time he goes onstage, he’s never been in front of a mic in front of people before. And then you see him progressively get comfortable.”
The actor said there were even times on set where he’d deliver a joke as Alex and it “was too good.”
“It was too clean,” Arnett said. “[It] actually made people who were there actually watching laugh.”
Dern said that Arnett was “the greatest dance partner any girl could ever ask for as an actor.”
“That was a very beautiful, incredible acting opportunity for me and really beautiful to have Bradley hold us in it. It was really incredible through rehearsal, all the way through every day of work together,” Dern said. “It takes a lot of bravery to be willing to be pure and simple in truth, and so I really revere that in the experience we had.”
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Is This Thing On? distributor Searchlight Pictures.

Matt Damon as Odysseus on the poster for Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey.’ (Universal Pictures)
This isn’t an enchantment from a siren: there is a new poster for Christopher Nolan‘s The Odyssey.
Universal Pictures shared the brand-new poster for the upcoming film on Thursday. The studio also announced that the prologue of The Odyssey will be available to watch in IMAX before screenings of Avatar: Fire and Ash.
“A film by Christopher Nolan shot entirely with IMAX film cameras. Experience The Odyssey prologue in IMAX before Avatar: Fire and Ash,” the studio’s Instagram announcement reads.
Matt Damon stars as Odysseus in Nolan’s film adaptation of Homer‘s epic poem. The star-studded ensemble cast also includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron.
Universal describes the adaptation as “a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology,” which will bring the foundational, classic story to IMAX screens for the first time.
Homer’s The Odyssey, of course, tells the story of the Greek hero Odysseus’ 10-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. He is filled with interruptions in his quest to return home to his wife, Penelope, and his grown son, Telemachus, who fights off suitors who are desperate to steal his father’s throne.
Nolan wrote and directed the film, his first since the best picture Oscar-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer. He also produced the movie with his wife, Emma Thomas.
The Odyssey opens in movie theaters on July 17, 2026.

“Introducing… DIGGER. A comedy of catastrophic proportions from director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Only in theaters October 2026,” Cruise’s caption reads.
The studio also released a title announcement teaser video. It finds Cruise wearing cowboy boots and holding a shovel. He pairs his boots with athletic shorts and is seemingly wearing some sort of wig, as his character appears to be losing his hair.
We don’t see Cruise’s face up close in the video, but we do see him dancing around a carpeted living room. He also walks along the railing of a pier as if it was a tightrope.
“In Digger we trust,” the description of the title announcement teaser reads.
Along with Cruise, the film’s ensemble cast includes Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde and Emma D’Arcy.

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t have an opinion on whether or not Rose could have made more room on the door for Jack. That’s because he’s not very familiar with the film Titanic.
While in conversation with Jennifer Lawrence for an installment of Variety‘s Actors on Actors, DiCaprio, who starred in James Cameron‘s 1997 film, said he has never rewatched it.
“Have you rewatched Titanic?” Lawrence asks, to which DiCaprio responds, “No. I haven’t seen it in forever.”
Lawrence tells him he should consider giving it a go.
“Oh, you should. I bet you could watch it now, it’s so good,” she says.
DiCaprio deflects by telling Lawrence he doesn’t really watch his own films, and then he asks her if she does.
“No,” Lawrence says. “I’ve never made something like Titanic, if I did I would watch it. Once I was really drunk, I put on American Hustle. I was like, ‘I wonder if I’m good at acting?’ I put it on, and I don’t remember what the answer is.”
Elsewhere in the conversation, Lawrence spoke about how she once accidentally took an Ambien thinking it was a different pill while on the set of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
“It was a dance scene with Philip Seymour Hoffman on the second Hunger Games movie. I was hallucinating,” Lawrence said. “Elizabeth Banks got really annoyed with me. Maybe she didn’t know that I was on an Ambien.”

Ryan posted a black-and-white photo of herself dancing with Rob Reiner alongside a lengthy caption.
“Oh how we will miss this man,” Ryan wrote. “Thank you, Rob and Michelle [sic], for the way you believe in true love, in fairy tales, and in laughter. Thank you for your faith in the best in people, and for your profound love of our country.”
The actress continued, writing that she has “to believe that their story will not end with this impossible tragedy, that some good may come, some awareness raised.”
“I don’t know, but my guess is that they would want that to be hopeful and humane, to be something that brings us all to a greater understanding of one another and to some peace,” Ryan wrote.
Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead with stab wounds on Sunday in their Los Angeles home.
The couple’s son Nick Reiner is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, with the special circumstance of multiple murders, for allegedly stabbing his parents to death on Sunday, according to prosecutors.

Ariana Grande‘s a Florida girl, so she’s got to wrap up to brave the New York City winter chill — but she kinda overdoes it in the new promo for her Dec. 20 hosting gig on Saturday Night Live.
In the clip, SNL cast member Ashley Padilla stops by Ari’s dressing room to ask her if she wants to go see the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, which is right next to 30 Rock, where the show is produced. When Ari says yes, Ashley warns her, “You might wanna bundle up, it’s kinda cold.”
Ari puts on a sweater, gloves and earmuffs, before glancing at the weather report and seeing that it’s 32 degrees out. She adds a puffer coat and boots, and then sees the temperature has dropped to 19 degrees. She then piles on a snood, a massive scarf, and a fuzzy hat and mittens, before noticing that it’s now -5 degrees.
Cut to Ari wearing a snowsuit on top of everything, scarf completely wrapped around her face, barely able to move or see. Ashley appears and tells her that access to the tree has been cut off, but they can see it from SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels‘ office. As they admire the tree, Ari announces, “I have to pee.”
Earlier on Wednesday, Ariana posted footage on her Instagram Story of herself dressed up as Antonio, the traumatized young castrato singer she originally portrayed on SNL in October 2024.
Saturday will mark the third time Ari’s hosted the show. In addition to the October 2024 show, she hosted in 2016. Cher will be Saturday’s musical guest.
