Christian Bale to Play Dick Cheney in Upcoming Biopic

From playing the iconic Batman in The Dark Knight to a pudgy con artist in American Hustle, Christian Bale's movie roles have always been varied but his latest could be his most contentious.

Variety reports that Bale is set to play Dick Cheney in an upcoming biopic about the former vice president. Adam McKay will helm the film, which follows his Oscar-nominated The Big Short that tackled the economic crisis of 2008. Meanwhile, Steve Carell and Amy Adams are also in talks to star in the still-untitled flick.
