Nicholas Hoult is playing J.D. Salinger
in Rebel in the Rye, a biopic directed by Jonathan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
1. Hate the title.
2. Nicholas is too good-looking, but it’s a movie.
3. J.D. Salinger would certainly not approve, but he’s dead.
4. Didn’t see the earlier documentary.
5. Have the biography it’s based on, haven’t read it.
6. So no one can make a movie of Salinger’s books, but his life is up for grabs.
7. I would still watch it in order to complain about it, and also because Hoult was terrific in Mad Max Fury Road, turning his cannon fodder character into the emotional center of the movie.
