When we can we expect to see the "Catcher in the Rye" movie come out?

Producers must be scrambling to the rights to make it now.

1. probably never

Or at least not until the estate's copyright lapses in a few decades.

Salinger was vehemently against it, and I'm guessing that he left instructions not to allow it. Hell, he didn't even allow audiobooks of his work to be made.

Well, someone is listing an audiobook of Catcher on Amazon with a pricetag of $10K... maybe it was some special exemption for the blind that somehow made it into the public.

2. Shia LaBeouf stars in a coming to age tale...

I liked the book but fear any attempt to turn it into a film.

5. Directed by Michael Bay, of course

The characters of Phoebe and Mr. Antolini are AutoBots, and instead of winding up in a mental hospital at the end, Holden goes to Robot Heaven.

3. Have any of you seen the movie "Chapter 27"?

Just curious

4. Saw that... it was pretty good in a creepy way.

Or there's the part of "Conspiracy Theory" where Mel is compelled to buy copies of "Catcher" so the bad guys can trace his whereabouts.
