Even though the movie Birdman isn’t expected to begin shooting until later this month, filming permit signs for the movie have already been spotted in Manhattan. On Monday, Birdman signs were spotted around 47th St and 8th Ave in New York City.
Birdman is described as a dark comedy about “a former actor, who once played an iconic superhero, who joins a Broadway play based on a Raymond Carver short story in a bid to reclaim past glory” with an all-star cast including Emma Stone, Michael Keaton, Naomi Watts, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, and Amy Ryan.

This film is directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu who had worked with Naomi Watts before on “21 Grams”. And amongst this cast, apart from the most famed and talented Ms. Watts, Edward Norton is well-known, needless to say also Michael Keaton, but who the hell is Emma Stone? Is she some newcomer-starlet?
They were shooting Monday morning along the south side of West 47th Street between Broadway and 8th Ave. The scene was some guys walking between the Edison Hotel and the Brooks Atkinson Theatre.
