If you are familiar with cinematic news you may have caught the headlines about a
Dick Cheney biopic which has been in production recently. Hitting theatres in December, the first trailer for the movie has just been released and it seems even more brilliant and entertaining than expected. Not much of a surprise really, if you know that
Vice is directed by
Adam McKay, the man who brought us the masterly and exceptionally clever
The Big Short, a film that was nominated for four Academy Awards (among which the one for
Best Picture) and won the one for
Best Adapted Screenplay;
The Big Short was also my
favourite film of 2015.
Once again,
McKay works with the master of transformations (and one of my top5 favourite actors) Academy Award Winner
Christian Bale [
The Dark Knight (2008),
The Fighter (2010),
Hostiles (2017)] who has once again completely changed his appearance (reaching an
unrecognisable level) in order to become
Dick Cheney, the famous Vice President of the
George W. Bush Administration
. In the trailer we not only see
Bale embodying
Cheney, but we witness, an also changed,
Sam Rockwell (who was recently awarded with an Oscar for his work in
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) portraying
George W. Bush in a seemingly flawless way. We also get a glimpse of
Amy Adams [
American Hustle (2013),
Arrival (2016)] as
Lynne Cheney and
Steve Carell [
Foxcatcher (2014),
Little Miss Sunshine (2006)] as
Donald Rumsfeld. The trailer also shows
McKay's characteristic fun and even ironic style which was such a prominent feature of
The Big Short.
