The Catcher in the Rye

[samralh]

If I am not mistaken, a movie cannot be made of this book. JD Salinger had one of his short stories optioned and made into a movie (Uncle Wiggly in Connecticut) and he hated the adaptation so much that he has blocked any of his stories from being movies, even after his death.

Sure, someone could do an unauthorized adaptation and have there pants sued off or take some liberty like they did in Igby goes down. I think that is as close as it will probably get.
