Batman and Hulk go for coffee
As the Michael-Keaton-for-Oscar bandwagon gains momentum, it’s worth taking a minute to see what all the fuss is about. Alejandro Iñárritu's Birdman is a much-hyped showcase for his acting skills, setting him alongside a gifted support cast that boasts Edward Norton, Emma Stone and Naomi Watts. It’s Norton, though, on sidekick duties in this new clip from the film as a fiery actor with plenty to tell his new boss.
Keaton plays Riggan, an actor once famous for playing a Batman-like character who’s since fallen on tough times. His shot of redemption – as he sees it – is a Broadway play charting the triumphs and disasters of a man not entirely dissimilar to Riggan himself. Meta, eh? Well, throw in Norton’s domineering thesp, Zach Galifianakis’s eccentric agent-cum-lawyer and all the usual perils of show business and his plans (and sanity) seem to be in deepest jeopardy. Hence, we assume, the coffee run. {New Birdman Poster} Birdman Or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance) - or BiRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED ViRTUE OF iGNORANCE) - hits UK cinemas on January 2. Expect the awards buzz to keep building between now and then.
