One of the films making its world premiere at the 2015 Toronto Film Festival is Jay Roach‘s Trumbo starring Bryan Cranston as 1940s screenwriter Dalton Trumbo whose career came to a crashing end when he and other Hollywood figures are blacklisted for their political beliefs. Along with making the Toronto list, today Bleecker Street, who will release the film on Nov. 6, have released two new images, both of which can be seen below.
In the pics are shots of Cranston as Trumbo along with Diane Lane as his wife Cleo and Helen Mirren as notorious gossip columnist Hedda Hopper. Additional members of the cast include Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Virgil Brooks, Louis C.K. as Arlen Hird, Elle Fanning as Nikola Trumbo, John Goodman as Frank King, Alan Tudyk as Ian McLellan Hunter and Michael Stuhlbarg as Edward G. Robinson. The likes of David James Elliott will play John Wayne, Dean O’Gorman will play Kirk Douglas and Christian Berkel will star as Otto Preminger.
The film will tell Trumbo’s story as he fights against the U.S. government and studio bosses in a war over words and freedom, which entangled everyone in Hollywood from Hedda Hopper and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.
