FILM 1454: TRUMBO

TRIVIA: Gary Oldman was considered for the role of Dalton Trumbo.

Alan Tudyk entertained his on-screen son, Elijah Miskowski, and the other kids on set by performing the voices of King Candy (Wreck It Ralph), Duke (Frozen), and Alister Krei (Big Hero 6). The boys were impressed to discover he was also the marine voice from Halo 3 and it made Alan the "kid magnet" during the early shooting of Trumbo.

Steve Martin has written that very early in his career his girlfriend and her "different" family introduced him to new ideas and intellectual opportunities. Her father was Dalton Trumbo. Martin had never heard of Dalton Trumbo.

This is the third feature film in four years in which John Goodman played the owner or an important employee of a movie company, following "The Artist" (2011) and "Argo" (2012). Interestingly, both prior films won Oscars for Best Picture.
