Ryan & Reese Share Big Eyes

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds will star as Margaret and Walter Keane in an indie biopic about the art duo called Big Eyes says THR


The Keane's work, especially paintings of doe-eyed children, became a pop-culture phenomenon in the 1950s and 1960s. However their home life was anything but perfect. Margaret was the artist but her husband took all the credit.  Durring the their divorce they fought over the rights to their work with Margaret eventually winning the dispute- painting a picture in federal court to prove she was the one responsible for the work.


Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski wrote and will direct the film

Tim Burton, Lynette Howell and Jamie Patricof are producing the film
