Scott Alexander & Larry Karaszewski Go For Another Eccentric Biopic in Big Eyes

Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski have a God given knack for fictionalizing the lives of offbeat personalities.

Ed Wood – the story about a guy who loved making movies as much as he did wearing women's clothes. The People Vs. Larry Flynt centering on an otherwise loathsome toad rightfully fighting for freedom of speech even if it involves pornography. Man on the Moon – a classic rise to fame story of a comedian known for toying with everyone including his loves one only to become the boy who cried wolf. All great movies on subjects one normally wouldn't focus on. Check them out if you haven't.

THR says they're back at it again writing and directing Big Eyes detailing the story of Margaret and Walter Keane, the couple responsible for the popular for its time, and creepy by today's standards upon reflection, pop-eyed art during the 1960s. Only things got heated when Water took all the glory for the work since it was sold under his name when it was Margaret who was behind it all. Divorce, lawsuits and a show-off where Margaret painted the presiding judge in court to prove herself followed.

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds will play the couple with Tim Burton producing.
