If you love superheroes and Emma Stone, but still feel that The Amazing Spider-Man 2 didn't have enough of Edward Norton in very small underpants, then you're in luck. The new international trailer for Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman has just landed and it looks entirely bonkers. Oh, and it's somewhat NSFW, given all the naughty swear words.

Birdman - or, to give it its full title, Birdman, Or The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance - tells the tale of an actor famous for having played an iconic superhero decades ago, now trying to put on a play. Michael Keaton stars, presumably drawing somewhat on his experence post-Batman Returns, alongside Zach Galifianakis, Andrea Riseborough, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts and - of course - Edward Norton in his underpants.

This is Iñárritu's first feature film since 2010's Biutiful, though you can expect to see a few more explosions and giant mechanical birds in this one. In addition, rumour has it that cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki has worked with Iñárritu to make Birdman appear as one continuous take, from beginning to end.

It all looks utterly bonkers and intriguing, though we've got a little while to wait yet. Birdman will open the 71st Venice International Film Festival on August 27 and is set to release in the US on August 17. Brits, however, will have to wait until January 2, 2015.
