RIGGAN'S DRESSING ROOM - THEATER - DAYClose on the brilliant colors of a middle eastern rug, thecenter of what seems to be a makeshift “meditation” space.We slowly tilt up to discover the back of Riggan Thomson (55).He is in the proper ‘Lotus’ position, dressed only in tightwhite briefs and he appears to be meditating deeply. And if allthis seems a little odd, it becomes all the more so when younotice that he is levitating almost two feet above the floor.His breath is calm and measured. in and out. in and out.MAN (V.O.)How did we end up here?(Beat.)This place is a fucking dump.We begin to slowly move toward Riggan's back while his measurebreathing continues. We see a clock on the wall, ticking.MAN (V.O.)Smells like balls.A slight twitch in Riggan's neck.MAN (V.O.)We don't belong in this shithole.A Skype call shatters the silence. Close on his back, we followRiggan as he walks over to the computer and answers the call.On the computer screen appears Sam (21), in a pair of Levi'sand a Led Zeppelin T-shirt. She has simple and striking goodlooks, with an edge in her voice and behind her eyes.

They need youbuy!!!SAM(Close into the screen.)I hate this job.And the Skype call is over. Riggan closes the laptop and leansforward trying to regain his calm. His reflection appears inthe mirror, and for the first time we see his face. He has adark goatee and his hair looks strangely abundant. There is apiece of paper on the mirror with the handwritten phrase “Athing is a thing, not what it is said of that thing.”ANNIE ON SPEAKERSRiggan, they’re starting scenefive.

Suddenly we are in the midst of an Americana stylekitchen.Around the kitchen table sit Lesley (35), plain and no nonsense,her simple hairstyle and makeup can't hide how attractive sheis.

He takes a breath and dives in once again.RALPH(The same but louder.)We lived like fugitives those days.Extremely frustrated, Riggan stares out into the auditorium.From his POV we see Jake who is now sitting in the third row.His head buried in his hands, tortured by Ralph’s performance.Riggan turns back to Ralph.RALPH (CONT'D).I never knew if he was going to come outof the bushes or from behind a car and juststart shooting.Riggan watches Ralph act and sees his whole production headeddown the drain.

He sits on a chair.MAN (V.O.)That clown doesn’t have half your talentand he’s making a fortune in that Tin Manget up.Riggan stares into the mirror, in the reflection he catchessight of a poster from a movie called "Birdman 3". Thesuperhero, Birdman (a younger Riggan in a bird costume), wingswidely spread, stares directly back at him. A hand writtennote on the top of the poster reads: "Thomson, break a wing!From the boys at Local 1." Riggan tries to calm himself with amantra.RIGGAN"Breathing in, I embrace my anger.Breathing out, I smile to it."(CONTINUED)

Gettingthe fuck out of here before we humiliateourselves. That would be fun.Riggan looks at himself in the mirror and begins to pull athis hair. As it comes off his head, we discover it was a wig.He turns away from the mirror, trying desperately to staycalm. Something catches his eye: a vase of roses on the endof the table. A card in them says, "They didn't have thewhatever you wanted - Sam". Enraged, Riggan focuses on thevase. It begins to shift. Then, with a surge of anger,without ever touching it, he sends it crashing against thewall on the other side of the room.The camera pans over the roses scattered across the floor. Ithovers over the carpet and around the perimeter of the room,until it finally settles on Riggan, now dressed in a casualblazer.A5A5It is later the same day. He is sitting on the sofa and on threechairs in front of him are three journalists:Gabriel, a geeky theatre journalist, wearing thick glasses anda thin tie. Clara, a reporter from an entertainment blog.
