T
he transformation of
Christian Bale into
Dick Cheney was a
magical collaboration
of artistic talent, and three-time
Oscar
®
winner Greg Cannom
calls the experience "one of the
best" of his distinguished four-
decade career.
The adventure started with a
phone call. Producers Jennifer
Madeloff and Jeff Waxman had a
project called Vice, the story of
Dick Cheney's 50-year ascent
from Washington bureaucrat to
the most powerful vice president
in our nation's history.
