Amy Adams, five-time Oscar nominee will shine this season in theaters with Tim Burton's "Big Eyes", the crazy but true story of painter Margaret Keane (Adams), whose husband (Christoph Waltz) claimed credit for her works in the 1960s.
The actress wanted to work with Tim Burton for a very long time and feels that the script came in at just the right time. She was obsessed with Tim Burton’s movies-
Pee-wee and
Beetlejuice and many of his works.
ALSO READ: Adams claims that expectation is hard to live up to, but at the same time, when she goes into doing a film, it's not something that she thinks of but concentrates on giving in her best shot. The actress says, “It was kind of awesome. I shot "American Hustle" first, and I don't know how long after, but it wasn't much more than a month after that we started shooting "Big Eyes". It was a pretty quick transition. It was strange because coming off of Sydney [in "American Hustle"] I was feeling so beat up.
"Big Eyes" tells the outrageous true story of one of the most epic art frauds in history. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, painter Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) had reached success beyond belief, revolutionizing the commercialization of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. The bizarre and shocking truth would eventually be discovered though: Walter’s works were actually not created by him at all, but by his wife Margaret (Amy Adams). The Keanes, it seemed, had been living a colossal lie that had fooled the entire world. A tale too incredible to be fiction, "Big Eyes" centers on Margaret’s awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work.
