SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Interscope Records and The Weinstein Company (TWC) announce the release of Big Eyes – Music From The Original Motion Picture available at all digital partners today. Multi-platinum recording artist Lana Del Rey performs the title track "Big Eyes," which she co-wrote with Daniel Heath and is nominated for a 2015 Golden Globe for Best Original Song in a Motion Picture. Check out the song HERE. Lana also performs "I Can Fly," which she co-wrote with Rick Nowels for acclaimed director Tim Burton's latest motion picture.

Commented TWC Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein: "Lana Del Rey exemplifies strength, femininity, and independence as an artist. We couldn't think of a more perfect performer to contribute their music to a film about Margaret Keane, whose incredible journey and story parallel these same ideas."

Said Del Rey: "I'm so grateful to Tim for letting me into his wild world and to Harvey for encouraging me to continue to write for films. I'm honored that the Hollywood foreign press has nominated my song."

The soundtrack also features original compositions from GRAMMY® award winning composer and frequent Burton collaborator, Danny Elfman, along with music from Miles Davis & Sonny Rollins, Red Garland Trio and The Lively Ones.

TWC will release the film, which stars Academy-Award nominee Amy Adams and Academy-Award winner Christoph Waltz, in theaters nationwide on December 25th.

From the whimsical mind of director Burton, BIG EYES tells the outrageous true story of one of the most epic art frauds in history. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, painter Walter Keane (Waltz) had reached success beyond belief, revolutionizing the commercialization of popular art with his enigmatic paintings of waifs with big eyes. The bizarre and shocking truth would eventually be discovered though: Walter's works were actually not created by him at all, but by his wife Margaret (Adams). The Keanes, it seemed, had been living a colossal lie that had fooled the entire world. A tale too incredible to be fiction, BIG EYES centers on Margaret's awakening as an artist, the phenomenal success of her paintings, and her tumultuous relationship with her husband, who was catapulted to international fame while taking credit for her work. The film is written by Golden Globe winners Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Danny Huston, Krysten Ritter, Jason Schwartzman, Terence Stamp and Jon Polito also star.
