Watch the new TV spot for Birdman, featuring Michael Keaton as an actor famous for playing a superhero decades ago.
Imagine an actor most famous for playing an iconic superhero from the 1980s trying to have a comeback on the Broadway stage. Now picture that this actor is Michael Keaton. Already, Birdman should have its talons in you. This latest effort from Alejandro González Inárritu (Biutiful), Birdman promises to be a dizzyingly trippy self-aware comedy/tragedy about Keaton’s Riggan Thomson, a washed up actor who still talks to his most famous mainstream role during interior hallucinations. The picture also features Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone, and Naomi Watts.
This is certainly one of our most anticipated movies for 2014, as well as one that I cannot wait to see at the New York Film Festival. However, in the meantime, please feel free to check out TV spot right now that shows Keaton’s Riggan taking flight, if only in his own head.
Birdman opens October 17, 2014.
