Sarah Paulson has joined Nicholas Hoult, Kevin Spacey, Brian D’Arcy James, Victor Garber and Hope Davis in Danny Strong’s J.D. Salinger biopic “Rebel in the Rye”.
Strong is directing from his own script adapted from Kenneth Slawenski’s biography “J.D. Salinger: A Life”.
“Rebel in the Rye” centres on the life and mind of the legendary and secretive author J.D. Salinger. Through his rebellious youth, the bloody front lines of World War II, enduring great love and terrible loss, a life of rejection to the pages of The New Yorker, and the PTSD-fueled writer’s block that led to the birth of his iconic book “The Catcher in the Rye.”
Paulson will play Dorothy Olding, the agent that believed in young Jerry Salinger from his earliest short stories and was fiercely loyal to him throughout his entire career.
Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill and Thad Luckinbill are producing with Bruce Cohen, Jason Shuman and Strong.
