In a sentence we never thought we'd type: here's a look at Christian Bale [1] as Dick Cheney. The 44-year-old known method actor transformed into the 77-year-old former vice president for the upcoming dramedy Vice, also starring Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush, Amy Adams [2] as Lynne Cheney, and Steve Carell [3] as Donald Rumsfeld. By the look of the trailer, the movie will explore Cheney's infamous power maneuvers, personal life, and at times underhanded relationship with the then-president. Vice is slated for a Christmas Day release [4], and is already nominated for several [5] Golden Globe awards. Watch the wild trailer above.
