Sam Rockwell is joining Christian Bale in Cheney, Adam McKay’s biopic of former vice president Dick Cheney.

Producing are McKay and his Gary Sanchez Productions partners Will Ferrell and Kevin Messick.

Brad Pitt and Dede Garner are also producing via their Plan B label.

Rockwell is repped by Gersh and Untitled Entertainment. »
