EXCLUSIVE: Adam McKay has set Tyler Perry to play Colin Powell in the untitled movie about former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney for Annapurna. Powell is the four-star general who as Bush Administration Secretary of State pressed the case for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, based on intelligence that Saddam Hussein was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction. None of the weapons Powell cited in his presentation to the United Nations was recovered after Iraq was routed. Perry will costar alongside Christian Bale, who plays Cheney, Amy Adams as his wife Lynne, Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush and Steve Carell as Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Current Cast:
Christian Bale - Dick Cheney
Amy Adams - Lynne Cheney
Sam Rockwell - George W. Bush
Steve Carell - Ronald Rumsfeld
Tyler Perry - Colin Powell
Bill Pullman - Nelson Rockefeller
LisaGay Hamilton - Condoleezza Rice

This is going to either be amazing or a trainwreck. I'm in.

The Big Short was fantastic so I am hoping this will be as well.

 

[Suite Pee]

lol @ Bale

 

[WhatWeLeftBehind]

Read that as 'Tyler Perry To Play Colin Powell In Adam McKay’s Dick Pic' and did a legitimate double take.

Cant be the only one who thought this said:

Tyler Perry To Play Colin Powell In Adam McKay’s Dick Pic

I was like jesus thats a lot of talent involved with a weiner

 

[Brandon F]

lol @ Bale

The casting choice that switched me from mildly curious to fully on board.

 

[Wag]

Is Colin Powell a cross-dresser?

He should call the movie Dick Pic.

 

[Mac_Lane]

Movie should be titled "Dick", would say it all.

 

[KodaRuss]

Wow Sam Rockwell is W. This is going to be great.

 

[GrapeApes]

I read it as Tyler Perry to play Dick Cheney. Very disappointed. Was looking forward to Madea "accidentally" shooting someone during a hunt.

 

[Robdraggoo]

This is real?

 

[minor effort]

The casting choice that switched me from mildly curious to fully on board.

Not to mention Sam Rockwell as W.

 

[Blade30]

lol @ Bale

I almost didn't recognize him.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Rockwell as W has some incredible potential.

 

[Zophar]

Madea Fabricates the Pretenses to Invasion

 

[rudger]

Rockwell as W has some incredible potential.

Agreed. Never heard of this before. But looking forward to it now

 

[jack_package_200]

I almost didn't recognize him.

Man is a fucking shapeshifter

 

[Dabanton]

Tyler Perry is actually a rather good actor is non comedy roles will be very interested to see this

 

[Enduin]

Sam Rockwell as GW is all I care about and that says something as pretty much all of the casting is pretty crazy and great.

 

[devilhawk]

He was really, really good in Gone Girl.

Alex cross though......

He was great in Gone Girl so he's fine with a good director

 

[robotrock]

I almost didn't recognize him.

You gotta stop doing this to yourself man

 

[Einchy]

I almost didn't recognize him.

This dude just likes getting fat and then losing weight, the whole acting thing is just a overstory.

 

[Ridley327]

I had no idea about it until this thread, but Sam Rockwell as W. is genius-tier casting.

 

[Fancyarcher]

This is actually perfect casting. Guess someone in Hollywood actually watched Gone Girl.

I almost didn't recognize him.

Bale, always the extreme method actor.

 

[MastAndo]

Looking forward to this dick pic.

 

[FairyD]

I liked Tyler in Star Trek and the TMNT movie where he played Dr. Baxter.

He was okay as Alex Cross. I think he can pull off Colin Powell easily.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Movie should be titled "Dick", would say it all.

That name was already taken.

 

[AuthenticM]

Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush

dude

 

[Alcoremortis]

I kept on reading the title as "Cheney's Dick Pic". I was equally intrigued and horrified.

 

[hydruxo]

Sam Rockwell as W. Holy fuck. That's just incredible.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I’m surprised he wasn’t cast as Condoleeza Rice

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Amy Adams - Lynne Cheney

Say WHAT

 

[robotrock]

dude

I knowwwww

fucking amaaaaaazing

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I almost didn't recognize him.

Is that Sagat next to him??

Edit, whats with pics not loading?

Bales body will give out at some point from how much he's put it through. I wonder if Adams actually put on the weight

 

[StopMakingSense]

I read it as Tyler Perry to play Dick Cheney.

Im so glad I wasn’t the only one. Made me audibly go “HUH”

Alex cross though......

Id say that was more just being completely miscast.

That movie is a goddamn train wreck from all angles.

Looks like McCain and Kate McKinnon

 

[excelsiorlef]

I'll tell you if Christian Bale asks you to go quail hunting... you say no.

 

[shaneo632]

EDIT

 

[Mesousa]

Perry seems pretty black to play Powell, no?

🤔🤔

 

[skullmuffins]

yeah dude, holy shit.

 

[shaneo632]

🤔🤔

In my mind Powell was very light skinned and Perry very dark. Google has left me inconclusive on the matter.

 

[Dommo]

Sam Rockwell was doing a bit of a Bush impression in Hitchhiker's Guide right?

EDIT: Ah yeah, there it is. "Sam Rockwell, the actor who played him in the film, cited Bill Clinton, Elvis Presley and George W. Bush as influences."

 

[Mesousa]

In my mind Powell was very light skinned and Perry very dark. Google has left me inconclusive on the matter.

Yeah Perry is darker than Colin, but I wouldnt call him very dark. I'd save that label for a Cheadle or Snipes. Perry is just average I guess. Colin is high yellow.

I won't be able to suspend my disbelief.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

I want to see Tyler Perry’s Rotten tomatoes score when playing a man vs playing a woman.

 

[ZackieChan]

Was reading an article with Bale discussing how much more difficult it is for him to lose the weight he gains these days. I know that feel...
