The first trailer for Big Eyes, the latest film from director Edward Scissorhands and Big Fish director Tim Burton, has been released by The Weinstein Company.

The movie stars Academy Award nominee Amy Adams as artist Margaret Keane, whose paintings of children with large eyes became popular in the ’50s and ’60s…though it was her husband Walter (played by two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz) who claimed to be the creator of the distinctive artworks.

You can check out the trailer for Big Eyes below.

Fun facts: Burton has been a fan of Keane’s work for a long time now, commissioning her to paint his then girlfriend Lisa Marie Smith in the ’90s. Joan Crawford and Natalie Wood also commissioned her to paint their portraits.

Big Eyes also stars Krysten Ritter, Danny Huston, Terence Stamp, and Jason Schwartzman, and will be released on Christmas Day.
