Walter White is hanging up his Heisenberg hat and humble steel-rimmed glasses forever in just two weeks to resume his life as actor Bryan Cranston. With his critically acclaimed show, “Breaking Bad,” behind him, Cranston is set to headline an upcoming biopic of blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo according to a report from Deadline.

Dalton Trumbo wrote his first novel, “Eclipse,” in 1935 followed by success with his first screenplay the following year. After widespread success with a dozen hits in the film industry, it all came crashing down. Trumbo was the highest paid screenwriter of his day when he was brought before Senator Joseph McCarthy’s House Un-American Activities Committee. Refusing to testify, Trumbo was blacklisted, but continued to write under fake names, winning Academy Awards for both Irving Rapper’s The Brave One and William Wyler’s Roman Holiday.

Jay Roach, known for his work on The Campaign and Game Change, will direct with a screenplay by John McNamara. There is no word on when the film will begin production or any other talent attached.

Alongside “Breaking Bad,” Cranston was also recently seen in Ben Affleck’s Argo and is set to appear in Dylan Kidd’s Get a Job, Tze Chun’s Cold Comes the Night and Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla.
