Catcher Movie

[Chris Kubica]

So what do you all think about a Catcher movie? Filmable? Not
filmable? How would you film it? Who could play Holden?

Hi Chris; Easily filmable because it is set in the television age. The
actor for Holden should be a brilliant unknown who can represent everyone of
the generation. --no easy task! --MichaelE

DiCaprio would have made a great Holden when he was that age.  Not sure who could do it now... yep, an unknown might be best.

They'd ruin it forever.
Besides, the old man was very clear: non filmable.

He'd have two haemorrhages all over again.

I think it's definitely unfilmable, but that's rarely stopped people from trying. It might be interesting, if nothing else.

Among the many things I hope we get in the Salinger Vault I hope one of them is a letter confessing that his real objection to the Catcher movie is that he simply can't bear to see a paperback edition with movie tie-in cover art.
