Sarah Paulson has been tapped to join the cast of REBEL IN THE RYE, the upcoming J.D. Salinger biopic written and directed by Emmy award-winning Danny Strong.
The movie will follow Salinger’s life including his rebellious youth, his experiences in World War II, and his life as a writer that eventually led to him creating the literary classic The Catcher in the Rye.
The American Horror Story actress will play Dorothy Olding opposite Nicholas Hoult‘s Salinger. Olding was Salinger’s loyal literary agent that believed in his work throughout his whole career. Kevin Spacey, Brian d’Arcy James, Victor Garber, Hope Davis, and Lucy Boynton will also star in the film adapted from Kenneth Slawenski’s biography, J.D. Salinger: A Life.
Strong is producing alongside Bruce Cohen, Jason Shuman as well as Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill, and Thad Luckinbill from Black Label Media.
Paulson received critical praise for her performance as Marcia Clark in The People V. OJ: American Crime Story. She also starred in Todd Haynes’s Oscar-nominated Carol opposite Cate Blanchett.
She is repped by UTA and Arcieri & Associates.
