Deadline.com has released an official statement from Kirk Douglas regarding Bleecker Street's TRUMBO. In the statement Mr. Douglas states:

I am so proud of my fellow actors who use their public influence to speak out against injustice. At 98 years old, I have learned one lesson from history: It very often repeats itself. I hope that Trumbo, a fine film, will remind all of us that the Blacklist was a terrible time in our country, but that we must learn from it so that it will never happen again.
