Dick Cheney the miniseries is one step closer to becoming a reality. The Hollywood Reporter wrote Monday that HBO has optioned “Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency” for a miniseries. Based upon Barton Gellman‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting, the series will focus on Cheney’s “single-minded pursuit of enhanced power for the presidency [that] was unprecedented in the nation’s history,” producers told the Hollywood Reporter.
