Originally titled Backseat, the upcoming Dick Cheney biopic is now called Vice, Adam McKay recently confirmed on his Twitter account.
Bale will be headlining as former Vice President Dick Cheney, with Adams as his wife Lynne Cheney, Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush, Carell as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Tyler Perry as Colin Powell, and Bill Pullman as former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller.
McKay has reportedly spent “countless hours” researching the former VP for the Dick Cheney biopic.
The project reunites award-winning director and co-writer Adam McKay with The Big Short stars Christian Bale and Steve Carell, as well as Talladega Nights‘ Amy Adams.
