MUMBAI: Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD will premiere the wildly loved movie Birdman on 6 February 2016 at 6:30 pm.
The movie will be simulcast on both the channels.
The dark comedy follows the story of a middle aged actor at a moment in his career to make a comeback.
The cast of the movie includes Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough, Amy Ryan, Emma Stone and Naomi Watts.
The movie has gained recognitions at the 87th Academy Awards, as Birdman won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.
The marketing idea for the premiere of Birdman was adapted from the idea of the film that focuses on the protagonist’s tussle with his alter ego.
Additionally, the channels will also simulcast the Oscars live on 29 February at 5:30 am and a repeat at 8:30 pm. In the run-up to the Oscars, Star Movies and Star Movies Select HD will also be airing the movies that were nominated and appreciated at the Academy Awards over the years.
