Ever since Batman in 1989 I loved Michael Keaton. After that I followed his work and founf The Dream Team, Beetlejuice and so much more. He hasn’t done so much recently so anytime I hear of him making a movie I get a little excited…
Birdman sounds pretty awesome. Directed by Amores Perros director Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu and starring Keaton as a retired actor who once played a superhero and is trying to get a Broadway show up and running but runs into problems with a maniacal lead actor.
The rest of the cast at the minute consists of Hangover star Zach Galifianakis as a scheming producer, Amazing Spider-man’s Emma Stone as Keaton’s daughter who is just out of rehab and King Kong’s Naomi Watts would be an actress in the show, so its nerd credentials are already high. Throw in a world class director like Innaritu – Amores Perros is a tour-de-force of a movie – and suddenly this could be a real contender for movie of 2014 as production kicks off in April. More as we get it guys…
