Birdman (2014) to open the Venice Film Festival!

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu has landed a spot on the Lido with his new film, Birdman, starring Michael Keaton and a boatload of other great people. The film premiers on the 27th, and word on the street is that the movie is very, very good, and it is screening in competition. Is this possible our future Golden Lion winner?

First Poster for Birdman!

I'm gonna get Oscar predictions out soon, I swear. This is more than just a Birdman blog. But that teaser!

First trailer for Innaritu's Birdman.

Looks like everything it should be and then some. Michael Keaton is definitely a Best Actor competitor with Steve Carell. Awesome comedic cast, can't wait to see it. Expect it in TIFF and VIFF.
