What's left behind the scenes
- In the 1950s, Dalton Trumbo's scripts were awarded two Academy Awards for "Best Screenplay," but Trumbo did not receive either of them. Other scriptwriters were credited in the films because Trumbo himself was blacklisted. The first film for which Trumbo received an award was "Roman Holiday." Ian McLellan Hunter was credited as the screenwriter, and he did write scripts for films and was later also blacklisted. In 1993, after the deaths of both Trumbo and Hunter, the American Film Academy attempted to take the statuette from Hunter’s family and give it to Trumbo’s widow. Hunter’s son, Tim, a director ("River's Edge," "Tex," and others), refused to part with the statuette, so the American Film Academy had to issue another statuette to Trumbo’s widow. The credits of the 2003 DVD release of "Roman Holiday" now list Trumbo instead of Hunter. The second film to win Trumbo an award was the drama "The Brave One" (1956). Robert Rich was credited in the credits here. Unlike Hunter, Rich had no involvement whatsoever in writing the screenplay. He was simply the nephew of one of the film's producers. In May 1975, approximately a year and a half before Trumbo's death, the American Film Academy presented him with a gold statuette for the screenplay of this film.
- Initially, Gary Oldman was supposed to play the role of Dalton Trumbo.
- During breaks in filming, Alan Tudyk entertained the children (including Elijah Miskovski, who played his son in the film) by imitating the voices of King Candy ("Wreck-It Ralph"), the Duke ("Frozen"), and Alistair Krei ("Big Hero 6"). When the children learned that Alan had also voiced in the shooter video game "Halo 3", they simply followed him around for the rest of the shoot.
- This is the third feature film in the last four years in which John Goodman has played the role of a studio owner or top executive. He previously appeared in "The Artist" (2011) and "Argo" (2012). Incidentally, both of these films won the "Oscar" for "Best Picture".
- Helen Mirren and Richard Portnow starred together in "Hitchcock" (2012), another film whose plot unfolds in Hollywood of years gone by. The film’s plot is primarily focused on the making of "Psycho" (1960), starring Janet Leigh. "Trumbo", in turn, tells the story of the making of "Spartacus" (1960), which starred Janet Leigh’s husband, Tony Curtis.
- Trumbo held Communist Party membership card number 47187.
- According to director Jay Roach, many scenes in which Trumbo is writing either sitting at a desk or lying in the bathtub were invented by Bryan Cranston "on the fly". Moreover, Cranston actually wrote out entire sentences on paper in front of the cameras.
- Four actors who appeared in "Trumbo" had previously worked with Ben Affleck: Bryan Cranston and John Goodman starred in "Argo", Diane Lane played a role in "Superman Doomsday" and "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", and Elle Fanning is in "Live by Night", which is slated for release.
- All the films Jay Roach directed before "Trumbo" were comedies.
- Steve Martin once stated that in his youth, his then-girlfriend and her family introduced him to completely new ideas and postulates. Her father's name was Dalton Trumbo. Martin had no idea who that was.
- Otto Preminger was actually both a director and an actor. He appeared in the animated film "The Hobbit" (1977) by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass. Dean O'Gorman starred in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy (2012-2014).
- In the living room of Trumbo's house, a certificate of membership in the "Delta Tau Delta" fraternity hangs on the wall. Dalton Trumbo was indeed a member of this fraternity during his studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.
- This did not happen in real life, however the film shows how Edward G. Robinson commits an act of betrayal towards his friends, naming them as communists at a hearing of the House Un-American Activities Committee of the US Congress. Robinson testified four times before the Committee, but never named any of his acquaintances as communists, even those he suspected of sympathizing with communism. He admitted that he himself had been a victim of deception by organizations that served as a front for communists, but he did not name Dalton Trumbo or anyone else as a communist. Robinson stated that he considered them, as well as himself, to be liberals, and that some of them periodically invited him to rallies and other events, but he did not call anyone a communist.
