David Cross’ Directorial Debut ‘Hits’ Trailer

David Cross has been a constant presence in cinema and TV for quite some time now, though he usually seems more comfortable supporting bigger stars in their respective roles. He gained cult status with the likes of the brilliant Mr. Show and later as Tobias Funke in Arrested Development. Now Cross is darting behind the camera for his first film as director in HITS.

In HITS, an unsuspecting father becomes famous after lashing out at a town meeting concerning potholes. He’s embraced by the online community, much to the dismay of his daughter, who wishes to become famous herself. Obviously satirical, and already looking quite dark and funny, Cross’ debut seems to pinpoint the current state of online fame and people’s perception of achievement.

No word on an official release date at this time, but the film stars Meredith Hagner, Matt Walsh, James Adomian, Derek Waters, Wyatt Cenac, Jake Cherry, Julia Stiles, Michael Cera, David Koechner, Amy Sedaris, Jason Ritter, Erinn Hayes, Amy Carlson, and Russ Tamblyn.
