In addition to allowing Bale to indulge in some serious bread products, Backseat reunites the actor with Amy Adams, who plays Cheney’s wife, Lynne, and with Steve Carell, who plays Donald Rumsfeld.
Sam Rockwell plays George W. Bush (of course) and Bill Pullman was recently cast as Nelson Rockefeller.
Even those with a passing familiarity of Bale’s work are aware of his zealous physical commitment to craft.
He famously went from playing a scary skinny insomniac in The Machinist to playing a totally ripped Batman for Chris Nolan in just a few short months.
