No, it's not a film about the Hanna-Barbera Birdman, nor are there any relations to the cartoon; rather, it's about the Broadway and family struggles of an actor (played by Michael Keaton) who portrays an iconic comic book superhero. It's directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (21 Grams, Babel, Biutiful), so, between being a fan of his previous works and how this film's been getting great reviews at the Venice Film festival, I'll be looking forward to seeing this when it comes to the states in October.
