Birdman is the movie this year that has gone from little to no attention to incredible buzz in just a few short months. On top of that, having some of the best attention gabbing trailers this year and a few high praising early reviews definitely helps. Now a batch of new images and poster have been released peaking interest even more.

As far as we know, Birdman is about a former superhero movie actor (Michael Keaton), who’s now attempting to resurrect his career by writing, directing, and starring in an off-Broadway play. But by the trailers we can all tell that there will definitely be more going on than just that.

Michael Keaton said this while speaking with LA Times:

“I’ve got to tell you: This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of role. You spend your whole career waiting for your pitch, hoping you’ll be ready when it comes because you don’t get something like this again. Let me put it another way: I’ve seen this movie 2½ times. And I never see my movies. That’s how much I admire what Alejandro has done here.”

Here’s the new poster as well:

Birdman opens on October 17th, 2014. Starring Michael Keaton, Zach Galfianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, and Amy Ryan.
