Trumbo
A combination of three different genres in one movie can make it more appealing for viewers. The new movie of Peter Askin, Trumbo, combines three different genres; Documentary, Adaptation and Politics/Religion. Trumbo is produced by Jim Kohlberg, Alan Hruska and Will Battersby and stars prominent actors Joan Allen, Michael Douglas, Paul Giamatti, Danny Glover with Nathan Lane.
The movie is set for theatrical release this June. Trumbo tells the life story and journey of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo from Hollywood royalty to blacklisted writer to Academy Award winner. Trumbo’s life is shown and presented to viewers with his given interviews and different scenes from life.
Empire Movies reports that when in 1960, Trumbo was given full screen credit for his work on “Exodus” and “Spartacus,” it ended his professional exile.
Upon his release in 1950, he moved with his family to Mexico, where he continued to write screenplays “including “Roman Holiday” and “The Brave One” “ under various pseudonyms. When his script for the latter won an Academy Award for Best Story, the Oscar went suggestively unclaimed. Finally, in 1960, he was given full screen credit for his work on “Exodus” and “Spartacus”, thereby ending his professional exile. Yet the character of the man who emerges in this riveting documentary is much more than the sum of these parts.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, this documentary focuses on the Oscar-winning mind behind Roman Holiday and The Brave One.
Before the movie is released, here is its official trailer.
