All Shall Know the Wonder of Purple Summer

Duncan Sheik's Spring Awakening a movie?!

McG is in talks to bring the Broadway rock musical "Spring Awakening" to the big screen, developing it with original book and lyrics writer Steven Sater.

McG is attached to direct and would act as a producer.

The project is not yet set up at a studio, though McG's Wonderland Sound and Vision has a first-look deal with Warner Bros. McG may opt not to go the studio route in order to make a more intimate, or indeed an edgier, movie version.

Sure, why not? It's a great story but an even better musical. Hopefully they'll retain Sheik's outstanding contributions on celluloid.
