In "Trumbo," successful Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Crantson) is accused of being a Communist in 1940s America, which subsequently gets him blacklisted and ends his career. As dire as that sounds, this first trailer shows Trumbo attempting to defy the odds and continue writing with only his wits and his will to a jazzy beat. Flippant but determined, he must risk everything in order to prove no one has the right to tell you what to think.

Starring Crantson, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning, John Goodman, Diane Lane and Helen Mirren, "Trumbo" is scheduled for release on November 6.
