The Catcher in the Rye or A Confederacy of Dunces. Both great vehicles for the right actor.

@Ynotisay I think Salinger's agents at Harold Ober's still have the rights and maintain Salinger's stipulation not to have 'Catcher in the rye' made into a fim.

@EugenieLaBorgia Interesting. I hadn't looked in to it much. Makes sense given how well that book would lend itself to a film. Thanks for that.

@EugenieLaBorgia as soon as those rights expire there are going to be a lot of shitty catcher in the rye movies out there

@prawntobewild I think weinstien and Spielberg had already tried before and even Salinger anticipated those rights would expire... and , possibly, some moron might serialize it!!
