After missing out on an Academy Award nomination for “Young and Beautiful” from last year’s “The Great Gatsby,” the melancholy pop star could enter the awards race this winter with two new songs, written for the upcoming “Big Eyes,” will release on December 25, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Title track “Big Eyes” plays prominently mid-film and “I Can Fly” appears over the end credits, although a representative from The Weinstein Co. told the Reporter that the studio hasn’t determined which they will push comes awards season. Directed by Tim Burton, the biopic traces artist Margaret Keane played by Amy Adams, whose husband, Walter played by Christoph Waltz, falsely took credit for her big-eyed paintings in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
“Big Eyes” marks the second movie that the “Ultraviolence” singer has contributed music to this year, following her cover of “Once Upon a Dream” for “Maleficent,”released in May.
