Bleecker Street just sent over the first poster for Jay Roach‘s Trumbo, which is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival next month.
Starring Bryan Cranston as the titular screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, the story centers on the ’40s scribe as his career comes to a crushing end when he and other Hollywood figures are blacklisted for their political beliefs. Following his his fight against the U.S. government and studio bosses in a war over words and freedom, Trumbo eventually finds the story tangling with the likes of everyone in Hollywood from Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.
Along with Cranston and Mirren, the stacked cast includes Diane Lane, Elle Fanning, Louis C.K., John Goodman, Alan Tudyk, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Michael Stuhlbarg and Roger Bart.
Hollywood is great at telling stories about itself, which has me looking forward to seeing this one and thankfully I’ll be checking it out at TIFF before its upcoming Nov 6 release. Check out the poster below and I assume we’ll have a trailer very soon.
