Birdman - International Trailer

20 years ago, Riggan Thomas (Michael Keaton) played the iconic Birdman - a comic book hero for the big screen. Having watched his career dissolve in the intervening years, Riggan has adapted a Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love and intends to direct and star in it as part of his big come back. In an attempt to show the world that he still matters, he ends up struggling most of all to prove his worth to both himself and his family. As troubles begin to emerge in the run up to the opening night, Thomas becomes haunted by his early fame, manifesting as a Birdman alter ego. 

Birdman comes from the mind of Academy Award nominated Alejandro González Iñárritu (Bable; Biutiful) and stars Michael Keaton (Batman; Jackie Brown), Edward Norton (Fight Club; The Incredible Hulk), Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover; Due Date) and Naomi Watts (The Ring; King Kong). Whilst the film was still going through post production at the time of the Cannes Film Festival, it is all set to open the 71st Venice Film Festival in the run-up to its release this October. Whilst at the festival, Birdman will be in competition of the coveted Golden Lion - the highest award to be given.
