Trumbo Official Trailer #1 (2015) – Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren
The first look at Bleecker Street’s TRUMBO, starring Bryan Cranston as blacklisted Hollywood writer Dalton Trumbo is here and it’s a fun and flashy trailer.
The film tells the story of Trumbo, the American screenwriter and novelist who came under fire from the House Un-American Activities Committee and labeled a Communist. He was blacklisted in the “Hollywood 10” when he refused to testify in 1947 during the committee’s investigation of the motion picture industry.
During the time of his blacklist he wrote multiple hit Hollywood films under pseudonyms and even won two Oscars in the process. In 1956 for The Brave One under the name Robert Rich (he was awarded the statue in 1975) and in 1993 he was finally properly awarded his Oscar for 1953’s Roman Holiday.
The film also stars Oscar winner Helen Mirren, Oscar nominee Diane Lane, Elle Fanning, Louis C.K., John Goodman and Michael Stuhlbarg.
It opens in November and will be released by Bleeker Street.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
