The film charts the times of blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (former "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston)
Trumbo was a high in-demand screenwriter with films like "Kitty Foyle," "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, "Roman Holiday," "Spartacus," "Exodus" and "Papillon".
He was also a member of the Communist Party USA and refused to give information to Senator Joseph McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee. He became part of Hollywood 10, a group of screenwriters blacklisted by the studios.
Mirren would play Trumbo's wife, Cleo
John McNamara wrote the adapted script based on author Bruce Alexander Cook's 1977 book from which Jay Roach will direct.
Michael London, Janice Williams and McNamara will produce.
