The first look at Alejandro Innaritu's highly anticipated Birdman arrived today, along with the awesome poster. For a movie that was supposed to be a comedy, this looks an awful lot more like a drama to me, which makes sense given Innaritu's output so far (can the guy who made Babel, 21 Grams and Amores Perros really pull off a true comedy?) But it looks great anyway and like Michael Keaton is for sure headed to the Oscar race, which is really cool since he's been under-appreciated for pretty much his entire career. Birdman is coming out October 17th, but might show up at the Venice Film Festival in August, so we can look forward to first reactions then.
