Art is imitating life…sort of, in a very twisted way (Michael Keaton isn’t washed up)…in the new film Birdman from writer/director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. Michael Keaton (1989’s Batman and 1992’s Batman Returns) plays a struggling actor who once played a superhero in this first trailer for the comedy movie coming to theaters in October 2014. The cast also includes Emma Stone, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Andrea Riseborough, and Zach Galifianakis.
The Plot:
Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance is a black comedy that tells the story of an actor (Michael Keaton) – famous for portraying an iconic superhero – as he struggles to mount a Broadway play. In the days leading up to opening night, he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself.
