'Dalton Trumbo had gone from novelist to a successful career as a Hollywood screenwriter which saw him become one of the town's highest paid writers and even earn an Academy Award nomination. But his bright career came to a crushing end in 1947 after he was one of nine people who refused to testify in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. This led to Trumbo being blacklisted from Hollywood and effectively ending his movie career. But despite being blacklisted Trumbo refused to give up and instead continued to write, often under pseudonyms, working on films such as Oscar winner Roman Holiday. His fight against the U.S. government and studio bosses over his freedom to write and work entangled everyone in Hollywood from gossip writer Hedda Hopper to Kirk Douglas who would call on Trumbo to pen the scrip for his epic drama 'Spartacus' and help bring about the end of the Hollywood blacklist.
Directed by Jay Roach, Trumbo is a captivating and moving story about one man's fight over his words and beliefs. 'Breaking Bad's' Bryan Cranston is Dalton Trumbo and leads an all-star cast which includes Diane Lane, Elle Fanning, Louis C.K., Helen Mirren and John Goodman. The film has been selected to be shown in the Special Presentations section of this year's Toronto International Film Festival and is set to hit US theatres on November 6, 2015.'
