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.
