VICE is the story of Dick Cheney, the most powerful US Vice President in history, and how his policies changed the world as we know it. VICEexplores the epic story about how a bureaucratic Washington insider quietly became the most powerful man in the world as Vice President to George W. Bush, reshaping the country and the globe in ways that we still feel today.
Sanjeev Singh, Videovision Entertainment’s Head of Acquisition and Distribution commented, “We are thrilled with the eight Oscar nominations received by VICE. Itis one of the best satires with fantastic performances from Christian Bale as Dick Cheney and Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush to Amy Adams as Lynne Cheney, as well as the exceptional writing and direction from Oscar winner, Adam McKay. VICE has already won twenty one international awards and we hope that its winning streak continues at the BAFTA’s on 10 February and at the Oscar Ceremony on 24 February.”
VICE will be released in South Africa on 1 February 2019 through United International Pictures (SA).
