How did the story of Margaret Keane, her big eyes paintings, and her attention-grabbing husband Walter end up being a Tim Burton movie with Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz?  It was a loooooong road.  But these 30-year veteran screenwriters Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski just kept working until it came to life.  They discuss the journey and more (from Ed Wood to Larry Flynt to Andy Kaufman to Martians) with David Poland.  

Shot in Los Angeles, December 2014
