Bleecker Street Films has released the first trailer for TRUMBO, an upcoming biopic starring "Breaking Bad's" Bryan Cranston (Tony Award winner for Broadway's ALL THE WAY) as blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. The film hits theaters in limited release on November 6th. Get a first look below, courtesy of Fandango.

Directed by Jay Roach,Trumbo centers on the successful career of the 1940s screenwriter and explores how it all came crashing down when he and other Hollywood figures were blacklisted for their political beliefs. The film tells the story of Trumbo's fight against the U.S. government and studio bosses in a war over words and freedom, which entangled everyone in Hollywood from Hedda Hopper (Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.

The cast also includes Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning, John Goodman, Diane Lane , Alan Tudyk and Michael Stuhlbarg.
