Amy Adams paints doe-eyed children in the trailer for Tim Burton’s Big Eyes
During its time in production, Big Eyes, the story of Margaret and Walter Keane’s rise to becoming 1950s and ’60s pop art icons, has seen changes in everything from Tim Burton’s role to replacing the film’s leads. Burton, an unabashed fan of Margaret Keane’s work, initially signed on as the film’s producer, only moving into the director’s chair as filming drew closer. As original stars Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds vacated the parts of Margaret and Walter, respectively, Amy Adams and Christopher Waltz stepped in to bring the Keanes to life. Now, with the film slated for release this Christmas, the first trailer for Big Eyes finds itself offering a vivid glimpse into the lives of the ubiquitous painter and her marketing savvy, credit-stealing husband.
