Bryan Cranston Signs a Leading Role in a post ’Breaking Bad’ Movie

Bryan Cranston is going to star as Dalton Trumbo, a blacklisted screenwriter, in a film which is to be his first after he wraps “Breaking Bad.” The casting was confirmed by a publicist for Cranston on Thursday. The film, “Trumbo,” is to be directed by Jay Roach, producer of “Meet the Parents” and the script is by John McNamara.

As a Communist Party member, Trumbo was among Hollywood 10: directors and screenwriters blacklisted during 1947 followed by refusal to testify on Un-American Activities in front of the House Committee.

Cranston will also be seen in “Godzilla” that’s being released in May. The fifty-seven-year-old, Cranston has been nominated for an Emmy Award for his extraordinary performance in series “Breaking Bad”.
