BIG EYES Trailer: Amy Adams Stars as 1950s Painter Margaret Keane

The first trailer for Tim Burton's upcoming biopic "Big Eyes" has been released. The film tells the story of Margaret Keane (Amy Adams), who became a phenomenal success as a painter in the 1950s, but also focuses on the subsequent legal difficulties she had with her husband (Christoph Waltz), who claimed credit for her works in the 1960s. The film also stars Krysten Ritter, Terrence Stamp, Jason Schwartzman and Danny Huston. This is Burton's first non-fantasy effort in quite a while, but he's no stranger to biopics, either. In 1994, he directed "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp and Martin Landau, a film that won two Oscars.

"Big Eyes" opens in theaters on December 25th.

Official Synopsis

"Directed and produced by Tim Burton, BIG EYES is based on the true story of Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), who was one of the most successful painters 1950s and early 1960s. The artist earned staggering notoriety by revolutionizing the commercialization and accessibility of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. The truth would eventually be discovered though: Keane’s were actually not created by him at all, but by his wife, Margaret (Amy Adams). The Keanes, it seemed, had been living a lie that had grown to gigantic proportions. BIG EYES centers on Margaret’s awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work."
