"Breaking Bad" protagonist Bryan Cranston is all set for the release of his new upcoming movie 'Trumbo'. The movie 'Trumbo' is based on the life of American screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. The movie is a biographical drama film directed by Jay Roach and written by John McNamara.

"In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood's top screenwriter until him and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs" quoted Biography.Dictionary.com. The movie talks of a time when many people in the industry were said to have lost their jobs due their political inclinations. It also added "Trumbo recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice under the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hooper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. The film also stars Diane Lane, John Goodman, Louis CK, Elle Fanning, and Michael Stuhlbarg."

Dalton Trumbo was one of the highest paying writers in the Hollywood. But, his links with the Communist Party got himself jailed. Bryan Cranston, who shot to super fame after his stint in the series "Breaking Bad" as 'Walter White' is very excited about the film release. "He's larger than life," Cranston said on playing the writer. "He pontificated. He was a brilliant man. He gesticulated and used colorful language. When I saw more tape of him and read more about him and talked to his daughters I realized, 'Oh my God, this man is more theatrical than anybody who was ever accused of chewing scenery."

Dalton Trumbo's first novel 'Eclipse' earned him quite a name. Trumbo is set to release on November 6, 2015. The film was premiered last week in Hollywood, the place where Dalton was blacklisted. "People are still alive who knew the man. In this case, we were very fortunate that his daughters are alive and well, his daughter-in-law is alive and well and so their help was instrumental on this," Bryan Cranston said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
