A movie adaption of "Catcher" should NOT be made. One of the themes of the movie is how much Holden hates movies. He refers to his own brother as a "prostitute" because he works at the movies. Making the book a movie would be somewhat illogical. That Salinger resisted movie deals doesn't help this point either.

On the other hand, I would love to read anything in the wazoo from Salinger that he didn't release during his life. Think about how controversial it must be, if what he DID release was "Catcher"!
If he specified anything in his will, however, that goes before anything.
