Michael Keaton has been seeing a bit of a box office renaissance lately, appearing in key roles in films like NEED FOR SPEED and ROBOCOP. But the true spotlight of the year may be his latest film BIRDMAN. Directed by the visionary Alejandro González Iñárritu (AMORES PERROS, BABEL), the movie features Keaton as an actor known for playing a superhero on the big screen (irony?), who is now trying to take on a Broadway play. The impressive supporting cast includes Emma Stone, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Amy Ryan and Zach Galifianakis. Check out the new poster above and new International trailer below, which makes this look like one of the strangest projects of the year. Give it a look and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
