Thomas Haden Church has signed on to star alongside Kate Hudson in Big Eyes.

Kate Hudson will play Keane, the painter whose distinctive creations featuring big-eyed children became one of art’s first mass-market success stories in the 1950s. The drama covers Keane’s personal awakening at the onset of the feminist movement, leading to a lawsuit she filed against her husband, Walter (Haden Church), who claimed credit for her works. He lived the high life while she toiled in relative anonymity in the Bay Area.

The writer is Scott Alexander and the Director is Larry Karaszewski.
