McG may direct ‘Spring Awakening’ film
April 14, 2009
McG is in negotiations to direct and produce a big-screen adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Spring Awakening.
The filmmaker, who is also a songwriter and music video director, is best known for heading up two Charlie’s Angels
movies, the sports picture We Are Marshall
and the upcoming Terminator
sequel.
The Hollywood Reporter said McG is in talks to develop a film version of Awakening
with Steven Sater, who penned the show’s book and lyrics, while rocker Duncan Shiek wrote the music.
The musical is a coming-of-age story about youths exploring their sexuality in 19th-century Germany.
