According to The Hollywood Reporter, Terminator Salvation director McG in in negotiations to direct and produce a film adaptation of the Tony-winning rock musical Spring Awakening.
The director is reportedly developing the project with original book and lyrics writer Steven Sater.
Spring Awakening focuses on a group of male and female students coming of age; it explores homosexuality, S&M, loss of virginity, masturbation, and suicidal tendencies. Really, it does.

I think it would be great to make it into a movie... think about it... not everyone has the wonderful opportunity to go see the actual show. This gives them a chance to see a rendition of it. Of course it won't be the same thing, and of course you're going to have people who have seen the live performances and fell in love with the work, that are going to say making it into a movie has ruined it. Meh, just don't go see it then, it's only going to ruin it for you if you let it. Make the movie, let more people see this work. Spread the art even further. Why Not?

I think it would make a fantastic movie. I'm just afraid that it will end up being Hollywood stylized trash. Do it right.
