Witherspoon & Reynolds to star in Tim Burton’s Big Eyes

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds have officially signed on to star as Margaret and Walter Keane in the Tim Burton produced Big Eyes – a biopic about the famous art couple.

The Keanes became famous in the 1950s and 60s for paintings of (what else but) big-eyed children. The couple eventually filed for a divorce because Margaret was the artist, but because of the times, Walter took all the credit. Margaret eventually won her rights in court by painting a painting in her well-known style live before the federal court.
