Bryan Cranston to Play Dalton Trumbo in Upcoming Biopic

Deadline reported earlier today that Bryan Cranston has been cast as famed blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo in an upcoming biopic directed by Jay Roach (Meet the Parents).  Titled Trumbo, the screenplay was written by John McNamara and adapted from a biography by Bruce Cook.

Dalton Trumbo was Hollywood’s highest paid screenwriter before he was blacklisted and jailed for refusing to answer to the House UnAmerican Activities Committee back in 1950.

Though Walter White may be ending his run, it’s great to see Cranston has things on deck ready to go after Breaking Bad concludes.
