Hotly tipped to bag an Oscar at next year’s ceremony, Bryan Cranston braves the blacklist to bring a dark chapter in America’s history to the screen in Trumbo.

Jay Roach’s Communist witch-hunt drama tells the true life tale of Spartacus and Roman Holiday writer Dalton Trumbo, who found himself ostracised by the Hollywood community thanks to a series of spurious charges and innuendo.

Elle Fanning, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, John Goodman and Louis C.K. co-star. Set against a heady time for Hollywood, where, haunting its most famous hang-outs are Kirk Douglas (Dean O’Gorman), Edward G. Robinson (Michael Stuhlbarg) and Otto Preminger (Christian Berkel). Lane is the woman who stands by him as he's haunted by the Red Scare sweeping through the US government and his own film studios.

Directing a script by John McNamara (itself adapted from Bruce Cooks book) Trumbo is due for release in the UK in January 2016.
