In a latest trailer for “Trumbo,” new footage shows screenwriter Dalton Trumbo‘s fight to make movies amidst the backdrop of the Red Scare in 1940s Hollywood.
The trailer serves up more emotion than the first as it depicts Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) behind bars, as well as shows a new scene in which Trumbo is questioned by Congressional legislators about his suspected membership in the Community party.
“Am I accused of a crime?” he asks, to which the courtroom erupts in outrage.
The film also stars Elle Fanning, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, John Goodman and Louis C.K. It is directed by Jay Roach, who is also producer on the upcoming Tina Fey and Amy Poehler movie “Sisters.”
John McNamara wrote the screenplay based on Bruce Cook’s book, and executive producers include Kelly Mullen and Kevin Brown, who is known for “Fight Club.” Bleecker Street is distributing.
“Trumbo” is set to hit theaters on Nov. 6 in limited release.
