Ryan Reynolds and Reese Witherspoon could be a good on-screen pairing. The duo have now signed to star together in Big Eyes for producer Tim Burton and writer/directors Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, according to THR.
The movie is based on the fascinating true story of artists Margaret Keane and Walter Keane, whose bizarre paintings featuring large eyed characters were beloved across the world in the 1960s. However, Margaret later claimed she was the true artist behind all the big-eyed paintings, and that the rather pompous and self-obsessed Walter (who spoke about himself in the third person and compared himself to Rembrandt and El Greco) stole all the credit for her work. It set off a long running dispute between the two which ended in court battles.
Here’s what Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski had to say about the casting, “We are ecstatic to have this dream cast for our dream project. Walter is a larger-than-life antihero – charming, funny, dangerous, and a little crazy. Ryan will knock it out of the park. As for Reese, she will be perfect as Margaret – soulful, decent, transforming from vulnerability to learning to fight for herself.”
Production is scheduled to begin sometime this spring.

He hasn’t made a film since Lara Croft’s last adventure, but now the Dutch filmmaker is planning a return, signing on to helm a remake of the 1961 crime thriller Five Minutes to Live.
Despite a critical drubbing and worries about franchise fatigue, Underworld Awakening has fought through to top the US box office in its first weekend, taking a respectable $25.4 million. That’s a little ahead on Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans, although that movie didn’t have Kate Beckinsale or a boost from premium price 3D ticket sales.
The Conjuring isn’t a great title for a horror movie, as it makes it sound like people will be stalked by David Copperfield, but that’s the current name of a new flick that’s jumping on the ‘true life’ (but not actually true at all) horror band wagon. Now 
Glee creator Ryan Murphy is a ridiculously busy man, as he’s also got American Horror Story on the go, found time to write and direct Eat Pray Love and for a while has been putting together a film adaptation of Larry Kramer’s Tony Award winning play. Mark Ruffalo’s been onboard the movie for a while, and he’s now been joined by Julia Roberts, Alec Baldwin, Matthew Bomer, and Jim Parsons (aka Sheldon from Big Bang Theory), according to
