The first official trailer of "Big Eyes," which stars Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz, was just released. Tim Burton directs this Oscar-hopeful film. 

The official trailer for "Big Eyes," available on Yahoo! Movies and YouTube, shows Adams talking to her poodle before going out with her friend. It shows Adams painting, how she met her future husband and the sudden wedding. It then cuts to her husband, Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), getting all the adulation and fame because he claimed to be the painter when in fact it was Margaret Keane, his wife (Amy Adams). Margaret Keane painted comic book-like portraits of waifs with incredibly big eyes.

The movie is based on the true story of one of the most successful painters in the 1950s and 1960s, Walter Keane, who is played by Christoph Waltz. He gained notoriety for revolutionizing the accessibility and commercialization of pop art through his paintings of street children with big eyes. The truth, which eventually surfaces, was that it was not (Walter) Keane who created all those paintings but his wife Margaret, who is played by Amy Adams. It was a lie that grew bigger and bigger, and the movie will focus on her artistic awakening, the astounding success her paintings obtained and her stormy relationship with Walter, who took credit for her paintings.

According to Hypable, Tim Burton's tone and style is almost the same in all the movies that he has directed such as "Dark Shadows," "Alice in Wonderland," "Corpse Bride" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." It was only with "Big Fish" that he had done something different. With "Big Eyes," Burton went out of his comfort zone, and people are eagerly awaiting how he will fare in a project that he does not normally tackle.

Insiders are saying that this might be the project that could land "Amy Adams" her first Oscar.

Watch out for "Big Eyes" in a theater near you. It opens on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.
