"It's about 50 percent real, and the other 50 per cent is wishful thinking," he shared on the MamamiaBook Club podcast. "I created that boy, who really is me.

Yes, Trumbo was a communist. He even openly tells his daughter about it in the movie, but he believes that shouldn't determine whether he should work or not. In the actual footage above, you can see his 1947 testimony in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities where he was held in contempt of Congress for not admitting to being a com...
The Hollywood 10 was a real thing, and the film's portrayal of the 10 stays true to the facts — for the most part. This is a Hollywood movie, and adding nine more characters into a film makes it a little crowded. That's why Trumbodecided to create the character of Arlen Hird, played by Louis C.K. He's a composite of five real-life communist screenw...
The fact that Trumbo wrote two Academy Award-winning movies is 100 percent true. Because he was blacklisted, he gave his screenplay, Roman Holiday, to his friend and fellow screenwriter, Ian McClellan Hunter, so that he could take credit for it. It ended up winning the Academy Award in 1953. Trumbo also won an Oscar for his screenplay for The Brave...
Helen Mirren does a spot-on portrayal of Hedda Hopper, who was essentially the Us Weekly, Perez Hilton and E! of the time. She was a powerful voice in Hollywood that wore flamboyant hats and was determined to bring down Trumbo and anyone like him. She's probably the main villain of the film, and in Trumbo's real life.

They were all about high quantity, low quality films. They just wanted money from the films that they made, so they hired Trumbo to write movies under pseudonyms — which ended up paying the bills...
Trumbo's wife, Cleo (Diane Lane) is probably the only person who could ever stand up to the headstrong Hollywood icon. She believed in Trumbo and all that he did, but was strong and independent herself. When she was younger, she was a carhop (that's how Trumbo met her in real life) who had a talent for juggling water glasses — a skill that is shown...
Trumbo worked with Kirk Douglas when he wrote the script for Spartacus.It was the first movie after being blacklisted where he didn't use a pseudonym. The two became friends and Douglas gifted him a parrot which was often seen perched on Trumbo's shoulder — just like in the movie.
The film shows Trumbo writing in the bathtub. In fact, the movie opens with him splish-splashing, smoking and typing away in his watery desk. This is all true, according to Douglas, who wrote about Trumbo's love for the bath in his autobiography. Trumbo spent hours working in the tub — but that wasn't his only writing habit. Trumbo was a workaholic...
