This looks amazing. Bale is winning another Oscar.

Bale is uncanny, looks like he nailed the details

Rockwell as Bush works, but maybe not on the same level

And I'm sure Adam McKay from SNL will take a fair and balanced view

McKay is a funny guy, but I wonder how many will realize that the 'based on a true story' is tongue in cheek.
Movie should be interesting for the performances, the narrative should prove more instructive into McKay's fevered imagination than the reality of the Bush Admin.

pat gives the trailer a 184 points thus far....

Live look in at his voting process:

McKay needs to get back to working with Will Ferrell again. That stuff was brilliant

Bale has to be the most dedicated actor not named Daniel Day Lewis . JFC he could have just worn a fat suit but no , he literally gained a shit ton of weight for this role . Gotta tip my cap to him . From American Psycho , to The Machinist , to Batman Begins , to The Fighter etc etc . Dude is a master at his craft. Props to him .

They should have just called it "Dick".

look's great despite Bales impression. maybe its just the way the trailer is cut.

Did Cheney really talk like that? Sounds like post-paralysis Christopher Reeve, having to draw a long breath before speaking in a short clip.

Unfortunately there's already a Nixon movie by that name.

What is there to be fair and balanced about? The Bush administration was an unmitigated disaster lmao

Looks like an Oscar contender.

I never would have guessed that was Bale. Unbelievable.

I'm not sure anyone could pull off Bush very well. Guy was too distinctive looking and sounding.

Yes. PBS interviewed him and used it for a series of Frontline episodes from about 2006-08. He nailed everything about him, right down to the hand movements. This is about as long form as Cheney gets, and the cadence and gesticulations are right on:

A statement I agree with in some respects, a full response is best left for DC

Brolin tried Bush with mixed results, and Rockwell looks to be just as good but not exactly killing it either... you're right, Bush is a tough one to pin down

I watched the trailer a couple more times. I think Bale went just a tad too big. Rockwell looks more natural and I can tell that is his Bush instead of a precise copy.

if you pause the trailer @23 seconds you can see a still of Bale with a toothless smile. I've seen the same smile from Cheney himself. but when you look at the still of Bale, it looks nothing like Cheney.

Maybe we're in the minority, but I'm with Fishpicker. I don't think Bale does that great of a job with this (based on the OP trailer). I like Rockwell's Bush better.

I'll watch it, but I'll be surprised if they play it straight and give this great American hero his due.

If it's a comedy, then they can play it however they want as long as it's funny. DC has a great sense of humor.

Christian Bale playing jeff danials playing dick cheney

I see that

Pat’s being modest. You just know he’s going to camp outside the movie theater like a Star Wars fanboy so he can be the first in line.

I thought Rockwell was Dana Carvey at first glance.

That might be one of the best make up jobs I've ever seen.

At this point Hollywood can't even make an honest "based on" film about ghosts or robberies so I doubt they tell "the true story" on the 2nd most hated VP in history.

But, I'll also watch because Rockwell/Bale...

It was going to be, but he told them 'nah gah, duh-uht' ;)
