So with JD Salinger dead, I would assume that Hollywood is salivating at the thought of finally obtaining the rights to make a film of his most famous book. Hollywood should not let this opportunity go to waste.

While the movie could be made in the original setting of the book, I fear that most people wouldn’t connect very well with the 1940′s today. Much better to set the novel in the Blade Runner universe. That way, every character who Holden meets and believes to be a “phony” can in fact, be a replicant. You may even be able to sneak clips of Harrison Ford killing off characters in the background after Holden is through with them, just to reinforce the theme.

Seriously, how much worse an idea is it than what Hollywood is bound to actually come up with?
