Nine-time Oscar nominee Bradley will direct the Searchlight film which was written by its leading man, Will, and Mark Chappell.

Other actors attached to the film include Sean Hayes, Andra Day Laura Dern. Bradley will play a supporting role.

The film follows Will’s character Alex as he faces and an impending divorce from his wife Tess (Laura Dern).

As their marriage quietly unravels, Alex seeks new purpose in the New York comedy scene while Tess confronts the sacrifices she made for their family.

Their decisions force them to navigate co-parenting, idenтιтy, and whether love can take a new form.

Bradley previewed the project last month while appearing on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show.

He said: ‘Filmmaking truly, honestly, is very similar to sports — team sports. It’s very, very similar to football in particular. If one of the 11 messes up, the whole thing’s screwing up. Same thing in a movie set.’

‘Anybody that’s ever made a movie knows that the camera operator and the dolly grip and the sound mixer and the first AD, these are key positions that are as important as the actors or anybody else.’

He signed up to act in, direct, produce, and serve as B camera operator for the upcoming comedy.

He wrote the script with fellow funnyman Will Arnett, who will also be the leading man.

Bradley said on the podcast. ‘I just joined the union. I’ll operate the camera, which I’m very excited about because we did some stuff.

‘We went down to Chinatown and yeah, it’s been amazing. We start in two weeks, so it’s kind of crazy.’
