"The Catcher in the Rye"

"The Catcher in the Rye" (DEMO)
The J.D. Salinger adaption that Winona Ryder claimed would
never get made, on the penalty of the filmmakers getting shot
& bombs getting dropped on the set-- all in the name of artistic
terrorism-- here to prove her prissy, uptight ass wrong!
(ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!)
(And Only I Have The Right to Do This!)

"Oh, dear god, no!"

Song is: "Seek & Destroy" by Agent Orange

********************

(CONTRARY TO ALL APPEARANCES, THIS FILM IS TO CAPTURE THE
LOW-FI SPIRIT OF THE BOOK & YET THE INTENSITY OF ADOLESENCE BY
MELDING NARRATION & IMAGERY. . . . . INTO ONE DYNAMIC VEHICLE
TRUST ME, WITH THE RIGHT HANDS IT CAN TOTALLY WORK!)

********************

"The mark of an immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one"

-- A quote from the book. In this case, we hope that I survive to finish the screenplay without Winona rapelling through the window in a S.W.A.T. team outfit.

*******************

In the beginning. . . . . there was a void. (Black screen)

Narration Overlay: "I came, I saw, I suffered. . . . . . could any adolescent ask for more?"

(End of Demo)

That Wasn't So Bad Was It?

J.D. Salinger: "My eyes are bleeding like ulcerous sores!"

"Just the way we like it!"
