Catcher in the Rye

No. There is no major plan to film this classic novel anytime soon. JD Salinger has never permitted it.

But I did find quite a few short, amateur productions on youtube. It seems like quite a few high school boys enjoy filming and producing parts of this book for English art projects. Popular scenes include the dorm fights, the hotel hooker, and Holden and his sister. Many other scenes too.

I wonder what JD Salinger thinks about this.

Probably sadder then I am...and I'm pretty sad

Thank the gods. (and how did that book ever get to be a classic?)

JD Salinger has never permitted it.

Probably for all the wrong reasons though. I.e the cinema isn;t able to portray the deepness or whatever of his charecter/ story or whatever like his books.

You're a phony Mr. Salinger. A PHONY!!

If they can turn The Great Gatsby andA Seperate Peace into movies, they can make one of your silly book. Your book is pretty much those 2 combined anyway.

I wonder what JD Salinger thinks about this.

I hope he's spinning in his grave.

That's fine if you don't like the novel. I don't expect everyone to.

I think the other two books you mentioned are more cinematic than this one. Lots of action. A lot of Catcher in the Rye is internal thoughts.
