One of the most anticipated films of the year is undoubtedly Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman. It's had rapturous receptions from Venice and Telluride, not least on this very site. Fortunately, there's now another excellent poster to further whet your appetite.
It's just the latest in some seriously great images released by Iñárritu, but this is the first poster to give us a good look at all the main players. Michael Keaton is, of course, front and centre. He plays an over-the-hill actor, Riggan Thompson, who is attempting a comeback with a new stage production of Raymond Carver's What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.
Naomi Watts, Andrea Risborough and Edward Norton (in his underpants) are his fellow actors in the venture, while Emma Stone plays Thompson's daughter and Zach Galifianakis is his very concerned producer.
The film will close the New York Film Festival on October 12 and open wide a few days later, on October 17. UK audiences will sadly have to wait until very early 2015 to set eyes upon it. In the meantime, we still have the brilliant and bonkers trailer to console ourselves.
Birdman (Or The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance) - to give it its full title - will be released on January 2, 2015.
