The new trailer for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman already has us pretty excited for the movie. However, according to Jon Favreau, there’s something even more enticing about the movie. 

The performing of a Broadway play as a last ditch attempt by a former action star to get back into the spotlight will also almost be all one shot. The spare cuts throughout the film are hidden making it seem like its been carefully composed into one continuous shot for the film’s duration, not unlike the beginning of Gravity.

We can’t wait to see Birdman, but we’ll have to wait until Oct. 17th when it hits theaters.
