Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel and Biutiful are film titles linked in Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s vision of the interrelatedness of human suffering.
Now Inarritu’s spreading his wings to take a different approach at something new: he’s set to direct a comedy called Birdman.
Therefore, the director has written the project with Nicolas Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris and Armando Bo.
The indie flick follows a former thesp, ‘who once played an iconic superhero, as mounts a Broadway play in a bid to reclaim past glory. The movie will take place in one location over the course of three days as the actor juggles family, career and his sanity.’
Inarritu, who is also producing with Robert Graf and John Lesher, is eyeing a start in March for a likely 2014 release.
The filmmaker is still moving forward with the gritty revenge wilderness project The Revanant, a screen screen adaptation of the Michael Punke novel,...

Just a day after the news that Guillermo del Toro is taking his 2006 dark fantasy Pan’s Labyrinth to the stage, another accomplished Mexican director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, has news of his own: he’s set to direct a comedy called Birdman.
Inarritu has melted down thick emotions in Spanish-language dramas such as 2000′s beautiful Amores Perros (with a breakout performance by Gael Garcia Bernal) and 2010′s Biutiful, and Hollywood dramas such as 2006′s Babel and 2003′s 21 Grams.

Breaking: Alejandro González Iñárritu, the Mexican director whose films are about as serious and sad as anything I’ve seen from a world-class filmmaker, is about to lighten the tone and make us laugh with his next feature. Gonzalez Inarritu will next direct Birdman, a comedy he co-wrote with Nicolas Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, and Armando Bo. Gonzalez Inarritu followed the tragedy-filled Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel by making possibly the most heartbreaking film I’ve ever seen in Biutiful, his last film. Here, he’ll tell the story of an actor in crisis, who once played an iconic superhero, as he battles his ego and attempts to recover his family, his career, and himself in the days leading up to the opening of a Broadway play. Birdman will be captured in a single location over the span of three days. Production is currently slated to begin in March 2013. Iñárritu will...
