“The life of celebrated but reclusive author, J.D. Salinger, who gained worldwide fame with the publication of his novel, The Catcher in the Rye.”
Rebel in the Rye is the directorial debut for actor Danny Strong, who also co-wrote the film. Strong began his acting career in 1994 on the hit sitcom Saved by the Bell and has 49 acting credits to his resume since then. The film tells the story of proclaimed author J.D. Salinger, the man behind The Catcher in the Rye, and is based on his biography which is written by Kenneth Slawenski. It is a fascinating story and the trailer looks amazing so I am pretty excited to check this one out. The cast includes Nicholas Hoult, Kevin Spacey, Zoey Deutch, and Sarah Paulson. Check out the official trailer below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, Rebel in the Rye:
- In 1951, J.D. Salinger's landmark novel The Catcher in the Rye catapulted the author to the top of the bestsellers list and into a cult of celebrity that he spent the rest of his life trying to escape.
- Salinger's now iconic work The Catcher in the Rye was originally rejected by publishers. When Salinger submitted the work for publication in The New Yorker where he was a regular contributor, the magazine’s editors criticized Holden Caulfield for being a character that wasn't believable and decided not to run excerpts from the book.
