Chris Colfer (Glee), Freddie Highmore, Thomas Sangster, Dev Patel, and Cameron Bright are all in the age range. -- nm - Max Jan 28, 10:29 1

whoever the most annoying and whiniest kid in hollywood is should play holden. - dogbert Jan 28, 10:24 5

  - I think he could do it. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 10:30 1
    - I would suggest Anton Yelchin. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 10:39
- Robert Pattinson -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 10:25
- billy bob thornton? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 10:25
I don't remember too much about his character from the book, but I guess I would have suggested DiCaprio way back when. -- nm - Max Jan 28, 10:22 1
- Yeah, Basketball Diaries DiCaprio would have had this in his wheelhouse. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 28, 10:23
Taylor Lautner Taylor Lautner Taylor Lautner! -- nm - swoony New Moon fans Jan 28, 10:21 9
- I'd hope the Holden won't be played by someone hot. That would detract from the detatchment angle. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 10:23 8
  - Ok, then Robert Pattinson. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 10:31 3
    - A twenty-something who looks *older* -- that's so crazy it just might work! -- nm - mara Jan 28, 10:33 2
      - okay, settle down, cougar. -- nm - Max Jan 28, 10:37 1
        
        RAAARRRR! -- nm - mara Jan 28, 10:48
  - how about the crazy preacher kid from There will be blood? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 10:26 3
    - Paul Dano. He's got the right look, but he's a little too old, I think. -- nm - Inigo Jan 28, 10:32 2
      - It's kind of like the Hamlet paradox. by the time you're good/famous enough to do it, you're too old. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 10:33 1
        
        You don't have to be that good to be a teenage actor in film. Directing and editing do wonders. (Stage is different.) -- nm - mara Jan 28, 10:44
Nolan. (Memento's pacing and dialogue approach feels right and there's no action.) A complete no-namer. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 28, 10:21
Wes Anderson and some unknown. -- nm - Inigo Jan 28, 10:20 3
- Jason Schwartzman would have been perfect c. Rushmore -- nm - tik tok Jan 28, 10:21 2

    - I have an inkling he may be more attractive in real life then on the screen -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 10:42
Elijah Wood. Michael Gondry. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 10:20
Holden is 17. Do we actually want a known actor in his 20s (or older) playing him? -- nm - mara Jan 28, 10:19 3
- I would nominate Alden Ehrenreich. (He still counts as an unknown, anyway) -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 10:21
- Sure, if they can pass for a 17 year old. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 10:21

Greengrass, Tobey McGuire. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 10:19 9
- uh, Tobey is 34. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 10:20 2
  - and also reportedly hates the book. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 10:22 1
    - all the better for the emo. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 28, 10:23
- you realize Holden is a teenager? -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:19 5
  - So was Peter Parker. -- nm - Shaun Jan 28, 10:20 2
    - and when did that movie come out? -- nm - loosilu Jan 28, 10:22 1
      - When he was 26. -- nm - Shaun Jan 28, 10:25
  - And? He looks about 14. -- nm - Loyola Jan 28, 10:20 1
    - Jeebus. Every now and then ST reminds me why I don't really watch many movies any more. -- nm - mara Jan 28, 10:21
