Kate Hudson to Portray "Big Eyes" Artist Margaret Keane

Kate Hudson has been cast to play Margaret Keane, the painter well-known for her depictions of children with gigantic eyes. According to Variety, Keane's works became "one of art's first mass-market success stories in the 1950s."

Aptly titled Big Eyes, the movie will be a drama that follows "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."

A pretty far cry from Fool's Gold, it will be refreshing to see Hudson get back to showing her real acting chops, the kind of stuff we've been craving ever since her performance in Almost Famous. Despite those little painted kids totally creeping me out, I'm curious to see how this film turns out.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds headed down to New Orleans over the weekend! They were spotted taking off from NYC's JFK Airport on Saturday, and touching down in Louisiana later that day. Ryan owns a place there, having purchased a country home, complete with a barn, back in 2010 with then-wife Scarlett Johansson. Blake and Ryan are familiar with New Orleans after filming a great deal of The Green Lantern there as well. The couple were seen walking around the city and having dinner out together on Saturday. There was some celebrating to do, since Ryan just scored a big new role. Ryan and Reese Witherspoon will star in Big Eyes, a picture based on the lives of husband and wife artists Margaret and Walter Keane.
