What the hell happened to Michael Keaton? His career seemed to disappear along with his hair. The guy hasn’t had a major role in a decent movie since, well, do we count Multiplicity? Alright, I’m going to. I like pizza Steve. Whether or not you want to count Multiplicity it’s been well over a decade since the guy has starred in anything good. Who did Keaton piss off?

With his acting career basically going nowhere except playing second fiddle to Lindsay Lohan and a self-aware Volkswagen, Keaton has decided to head in a different direction. He’s stepping behind the camera. Production Weekly reports that Keaton will make his directorial debut on a movie called The Merry Gentleman. He’ll also star in the film, along with mainstream movie newbie Keith Kupferer.

The movie starts shooting in March. It’s an indie project, so that means low budget and probably limited release. We don’t know what it’s about yet, but it’s Keaton. You have to root for him. He’s earned it. You’ll always be Batman to me Mike.
