from a newspaper. I couldn't find it on the 'net...
"A Catcher in the Rye movie? It could happen. J.D. Salinger never even considered letting Hollywood slaughter his baby and stonewalled several proposals through the years. But Entertainment Weekly has dredged up a 1957 letter in which he says he might bequeath movie rights to his family. Now he is dead, and there's money to be made, so..."Here's the following (and spot on) paragraph...
"Or maybe there isn't. Catcher was a product of the postwar period, when people were serious. Catcher might be too intelligent for today's Gossip Girl-pop-prep-school ethos."Exactly! Every young one who came out of the movie, filmed sensitively to the book, would be scratching their heads saying "Huh, dude?" Of course, Hollywood may change the story, fill it with half-naked cheerleaders, and make it a hit. Who knows? They've turned a lot of gold into dreck in the past...
