Michael Keaton Being Followed by His Superhero Past in BIRDMAN

Here's our first look at Michael Keaton in his new film Birdman. In the photos and video you'll see Keaton being followed by a Birdman superhero, which is an iconic character that Keaton's character played in his past. There's supposed to be a younger looking Keaton behind the mask because he's being haunted by his past, as he tries to make a comeback. 

The film is described as "a dark comedy that follows a former actor, who once played an iconic superhero, as he mounts a Broadway play based on a Raymond Carver short story in a bid to reclaim past glory. However, the play’s egotistical leading man threatens to throw everything down the tubes."

Keaton will be playing the comic book movie star trying to regain his credibility. Emma Stone is playing Keaton’s daughter, who is fresh from rehab and now his assistant. Naomi Watts will play an actress in the play, Zach Galifianakis will play the production's conniving producer, and Edward Norton will play the egotistical leading man.
