‘Trumbo’ in Callicoon

Posted

CALLICOON, NY — Delaware Valley Arts Alliance and the Callicoon Theater will present the CineArt showing of “Trumbo” (rated R) starring Bryan Cranston, Helen Mirren, Diane Lane and John Goodman. The film will screen Friday, December 11 through Tuesday, December 15, nightly at 7:30 p.m., with matinees at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. “Trumbo” (directed by Jay Roach) recounts how the screenwriter used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the absurdity and injustice of the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.

Admission costs $10.50 ($8.50 admission on Mondays and matinees) and $7 for children under 12 at all shows. A percentage of the profits and $1 per person from ticket sales benefits the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance. Call 845/887-4460.
