Michael Keaton Starring ‘Birdman’ Looks Absurd, Amazing

Briefly: This is totally weird, and absolutely amazing.

Fox Searchlight has just released the trailer for Birdman, a film that stars Michael Keaton, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone, and Naomi Watts. The movie “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.”

So it’s Michael Keaton… portraying a washed-up actor that once played an iconic superhero. Yep.

The trailer is strange and wonderful, all at the same time, and I really can’t wait to see more. You can take a look at the trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think!
