After quietly kicking off production weeks ago in New York City, the cast and crew behind Alejandro González Iñárritu‘s Birdman finally hit the streets. Not only is the dark comedy a major departure in genre for the director, but it will also be his first foray into the world of superheroes…in a way. As we can see in these debut set photos featuring Michael Keaton, the film finds him playing a once-famous actor, known for his iconic superhero role of our title character.
Walking behind our lead actor, famous himself for playing Tim Burton‘s Batman, his former character appears as a figment of his imagination. The story in the film only tracks a few days, as he attempts to mount a Broadway play and reclaim his personal life. Also starring Lindsay Duncan, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone, and Naomi Watts, check out the photos below thanks to Daily Mail.
Expect a 2014 release for Birdman.
