Kate Hudson will star in “Big Eyes,” the independently financed film about painter Margaret Keane.
Production is tentatively slated for June, depending on the prospects for the resolution of a new SAG contract.
Hudson takes on the role Keane, the painter whose distinctive creations featuring big-eyed children turn into one of art’s first mass-market success stories in the 1950s. The drama shows Keane’s personal awakening at the onset of the feminist movement, leading to a lawsuit she filed against her husband, Walter, who claimed credit for her works.
Go Girl!
Hudson opens Friday opposite Matthew McConaughey in the Andy Tennant-directed “Fool’s Gold.” Â Then stars in the Gary Winick-directed New Regency comedy “Bride Wars.” Â
