Big Eyes Trailer

Margaret is an inspirational American painter desperate to sell her unique artwork depicting women and children with outsize eyes. She takes to the glamorous North Beach in San Francisco in a bid to try and make some money selling on the street and it's there she meets the charming Walter Keane, who takes a strong interest in her talent. The pair marry and have a child named Susan, but things take a dramatic turn when Walter starts selling the paintings under his own name, claiming that art by women doesn't sell as well. While revelling in their luxury, Margaret starts to feel uneasy - despite her apparent dreams of success coming true. She decides enough is enough and takes Walter to court, insisting that she is the true creator of every single Big Eye painting. He's prepared to fight back, but just how far is she willing to go to prove the truth?

This vibrant drama is based on the true story of Walter and Margaret Keane; a popular art fraud case from the 50s and 60s. 'Big Eyes' has been directed by Oscar nominee Tim Burton ('Edward Scissorhands', 'Planet of the Apes', 'Alice in Wonderland') alongside his previous collaborators, Golden Globe winning screenwriters, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski ('Ed Wood', '1408'). It is set to hit US movie theaters on Christmas Day 2014.
