Synopsis

On behalf of Samuel Goldwyn Films, we are pleased to present the trailer from TRUMBO, the remarkable story of Dalton Trumbo's journey from Hollywood royalty, to blacklisted writer to Academy Award winner.

TRUMBO focuses on the writer's own indelible words, the film features performances of some of his extraordinary letters, clips from his films and, archival and contemporary interviews with those who knew him best. Forced to write underground, letter writing became the chief repository of Trumbo's extraordinary talents and they serve as a wonderfully entertaining testament to his boundless intellect, acerbic humor, and staggering resilience.

TRUMBO is directed by Peter Askin and is based on the play 'Trumbo' by Christopher Trumbo.
