Bryan Cranston Fights The Hollywood System in TRUMBO Trailer

Hollywood loves making movies that look back fondly on the entertainment industry, but Trumbo is a film about one of the darker times in the industry's history. Breaking Bad star and legendary "Your Mom" joke dropper Bryan Cranston plays screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted in Hollywood for his ties to Communism back in the late 1940s. Undeterred, he continued to write under fake names, winning two Oscars during the time he was blacklisted. This looks like a great part for Cranston to sink his teeth into, and I love how he's continuing to prove his versatility as an actor by choosing projects that are often wildly different from the ones for which he's best known.

Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Meet the Parents) directs Cranston and a stellar supporting cast that includes Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, Louis C.K., John Goodman, Alan Tudyk, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Elle Fanning. The movie opens in limited release on November 6th.
