Both “Trumbo” and “Eye in the Sky”, Helen’s upcoming films for the end of the year, will have their world premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival. In “Trumbo”, Bryan Cranston stars as blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, whosecontroversy entangled most everyone in showbiz, from red-baiting gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Mirren) and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.
