Burton directed the 2014 biographical drama film "Big Eyes" about American artist Margaret Keane (Amy Adams), whose work was fraudulently claimed in the 1950s and 1960s by her then-husband, Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), and their heated divorce trial after Margaret accused Walter of stealing credit for her paintings. The script was written by the screenwriters behind Burton's "Ed Wood", Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Filming began in Vancouver, British Columbia, in mid-2013. The film was distributed by The Weinstein Company and released in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2014. It received generally positive reviews from critics. In September 2016, an adaptation of Ransom Riggs's novel "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children", directed by Burton, was released, starring Asa Butterfield and Eva Green. Burton also directed a live-action adaptation of "Dumbo", released in 2019, with Colin Farrell, Danny DeVito, Eva Green, and Michael Keaton starring.
