Check out the first two images of Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz in Tim Burton's new movie, Big Eyes.
Tim Burton has been haunted by “big eyes” himself throughout his many films. However, as of late, those eyes have almost certainly belonged to Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter (and to diminishing returns of late at that!).
Perhaps that is why his next project is so interesting. Big Eyes marks Burton’s first biopic since the masterful Ed Wood (1994) and it stars a few pair of new eyes to the filmmaker’s oeuvre. As glimpsed below in two new pictures (courtesy of USA Today), stars Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz lead a new kind of Burton movie where ‘50s blonde bobs are more likely to be the fashion than ghostly white streaks. Clearly The Weinstein Company thinks there is something to this, because of the movie’s prime holiday release day spot.
Big Eyes chronicles the shockingly true story of Margaret and Walter Keane. The husband-and-wife team behind the 1960s-ubiquitous “big eyes” art style that shook the art world by storm, for over a decade Walter took sole credit for the artwork that his wife created. The reason? He convinced Margaret that nobody would buy art from a woman.
After a lengthy divorce, it took years before an eventual art paint-off led to Margaret receiving her due credit.
Big Eyes opens in theaters on December 25, 2014.
