As per THR,

Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Amy Adams are in early talks to star in the untitled Dick Cheney biopic being prepped by Adam McKay.

The Paramount project is McKay’s follow-up to The Big Short, his Oscar-nominated movie about the economic and housing market collapse in the mid-2000s, and tackles the controversial figure who acted as vice president under President George W. Bush.

Bale is in talks to portray Cheney, who was an ardent supporter of strong anti-terrorist actions and a key supporter of the Iraq War. Cheney also is the former CEO of the multinational corporation Halliburton.

Carell is circling the role of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Adams would play Cheney’s wife, Lynne Cheney.

Day one, The Big Short was great.

Heartless Monster: The Dick Cheny Story

 

[minor effort]

Huh. For some reason, of the actors listed, I see Carrell as Cheney more than Bale.

 

[Discotheque]

I really can't see Bale playing Cheney. but the man is a God so he'll likely pull it off somehow. the look will be tough too.

Amy Adams is too hot to play his wife as well, but whatever. get that makeup effects work. this will be pretty entertaining. Big Short was arguably the best movie McKay's name has ever been stamped on (well that or Step Brothers)

At least this time Christian can be a raging Dick for a cause.

This is what I call an unsolicited dick pic

Woah. Sounds amazing.

 

[Chumley]

This could be really really good. And likely will be after how good The Big Short was.

Nice

 

[Monocle]

Just replace Anakin Skywalker with Donald Duck in the Star Wars prequels and you've pretty much got it, right?

At least this time Christian can be a raging Dick for a cause.

If you think about it this is perfect casting considering both are famous for attacking someone who crossed their line of sight.

 

[Acorn]

Fuck yeah.

McKay and that cast, yes please.

Chainy or Cheenie?

Chainy or Cheenie?

There needs to be a scene with Chris Matthews on a tv asking this.
