The film will tell the story of Margaret and Walter Keane, the artists whose 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. During 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 the script and will produce with Burton and Lynette Howell.
At one point, Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds were going to star with Alexander and Karaszewski at the helm
The film will shoot this summer.
