Coming Through The Rye screens Sunday, Nov. 6 at 12:30pm at The Tivoli Theater as part of this year’s St. Louis International Film Festival. Ticket information can be found Here.
Inspired by events from the filmmaker’s own life, Coming Through The Rye is the poignant and funny story of 16-year-old Jamie Schwartz (Alex Wolff), who in 1969 has landed at an all-boys boarding school for all the wrong reasons. Ostracized by nearly everyone, he clings to the unshakable belief that he will someday play Holden Caulfield — the main character in “The Catcher in the Rye — on Broadway and in the movies. Jamie adapts the novel into a play to put on at school, but after a series of increasingly hostile incidents with students, he runs away with a quirky townie, DeeDee (Stefania Owen), to find the book’s author, J.D. Salinger (Chris Cooper). On their odyssey to find the reclusive writer,...

The ongoing debate over whether J.D. Salinger should have sold the stage and screen rights to “The Catcher In The Rye,” one of the most influential books of all time, has been argued for years, sometimes reaching Hume proportions of whether or not God exists. Some believe that Salinger simply lacked the imagination to know where the future of film might have taken his very “novelistic” novel, as movie-making has evolved and tested the boundaries of visually portraying one’s thoughts.

Chances are that many adolescents who read J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye” end up identifying with the novel’s wayward and angst-ridden protagonist, Holden Caulfield. They feel his cynicism about life, his fear of becoming an adult and his anger about hypocrites, whom he dubs “phonies.” It’s as if the story is about them. In writer-director James Steven Sadwith’s first theatrical feature, the 1969-set “Coming Through the Rye,” Jamie Schwartz (Alex Wolff, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2”) is one such “Catcher” devotee. He’s so enamored by the book, in fact, that he’s...

Emmy-winning director James Steven Sadwith makes his feature-directing debut with a story close to his heart. Coming Through the Rye fictionalizes his experiences as a 1969 boarding-school teen and his adventure finding reclusive author J.D. Salinger. We assume liberties were taken, considering the opening caption loquaciously elongates the usual “inspired by” to “a lot of this is inspired by real events if you want to know the truth,” but that’s okay — this sort of chatty flourish aligns perfectly with the character created as his stand-in. Jamie Schwartz (Alex Wolff) is nothing if not borderline obnoxious in this way. (Think an endearing Max Fischer from Rushmore.) Nerves obviously pull his string while fear and guilt refuse to let it retract — the reasons why coming soon enough.

The first trailer for Coming Through the Rye has been released, following a boy (Alex Wolff) in 1969 whose only ambition is to adapt the elusive author J.D. Salinger‘s (Chris Cooper) The Catcher in the Rye. To do so, he has to travel cross country to get permission from the scribe himself. Along the way he runs into a girl, and the pair’s trip changes from a search for answers to an exploration of love, sexual awakening, and loss. You know, coming of age stuff.
Directed and co-penned by James Steven Sadwith, and apparently based on a true story, the trailer attempts to strike a balance between youthful romance and the crushing realities of aging and disappointments. What remains to be seen is if the film can find its own unique tone to create something poignant. See the trailer, along with a poster below, for the film that also...

"Why are you doing this?" "I like an adventure." Samuel Goldwyn Films has debuted a trailer for an indie drama titled Coming Through the Rye, which is yet another story about one person's fascinating with Jd Salinger's seminal novel "The Catcher in the Rye". The film tells the "filmmaker's own true story" about a 16-year-old boy who adapts the book into a play then runs away from his boarding school to go looking for author Jd Salinger in the New Hampshire mountains. It reminds me a bit of Searching for Bobby Fischer, a similar story about a boy searching for a long, lost reclusive individual. Alex Wolff stars, and he meets Stefania Owen along the way. Chris Cooper plays Salinger and the cast includes Adrian Pasdar and Amy Parrish. This seems like it might have something to offer fans of Salinger and his work. Have a look. Here's the trailer...

J.D. Salinger’s coming of age tale The Catcher in the Rye has long appealed to a certain swath of adolescents who see themselves in Holden Caulfield. In James Sadwith’s new film Coming Through the Rye, one such adolescent gets a shot at meeting his idol, as he travels in search of the reclusive author to get the rights to the novel.
Coming Through the Rye centers on Jamie Schwartz (Alex Wolff), a sixteen year old outcast in a boarding school who deeply identifies with the protagonist of Salinger’s novel. He wants to adapt the story into a play for his school, but is told he needs to get the rights from Salinger (Chris Cooper). So he leaves on a cross-country journey to find the notoriously reclusive writer and obtain his approval for the play – which, as this latest trailer shows us, Salinger is reluctant to give.

Set in 1969, “Coming Through The Rye” follows 16-year-old Jamie Schwartz (Alex Wolff), an outcast at his new boarding school, and an acolyte of author J.D. Salinger.

Despite his religious avoidance of fame's glaring spotlight, American author J.D. Salinger has become an icon of literature and a touchpoint of teendom thanks almost entirely to his classic coming-of-age novel Catcher In the Rye. But with Salinger's passing in 2010, it seems it's open season on biopics about the reclusive writer. And one inventive production has just secured Chris Cooper to take on the tricky role. THR reports out of the American Film Market that Academy Award winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation.) has signed on to star in Coming Through the Rye. The drama will mark the directorial feature debut of Jim Sadwith, who is best-known as a television writer who won an Emmy in 1993 for his biopic Sinatra. (For clarity - it was about Frank Sinatra, not Nancy.) Rather than a straight forward biography about J.D. Salinger's youth, military career, literary successes and/or personal dramas, Jim Sadwith's...

Since his death in 2010, famously reclusive author J.D. Salinger has been the subject of far more scrutiny than he ever would have permitted during his lifetime. He was the topic of the problematic documentary Salinger in 2013, which many agreed did not quite fulfill its promise, and his unpublished works remain tantalizingly out of reach. Now, he is to be the focus of a new fiction film titled Coming Through the Rye, where the author will be portrayed by none other than consummate character actor Chris Cooper.
The film will be directed by Jim Sadwith, from his own semi-autobiographical script. The story is set in 1969 and focuses on two teenagers, Jamie (Alex Wolff) and Deedee (Stefania Owen), as they search for Salinger. Feeling a similar disconnection from the world as Holden Caulfield, Jamie believes that he’s destined to play the part of the boy and writes a play based on The Catcher in the Rye.
