That's cool. Whenever a director is at a show someone's like "They're going to make a movie of it!"

Damn it Rath, you weren't supposed to leak the news.

Fine. Yes it's true. Spielburg. SPRING AWAKENING. 2009. He is replacing Lea Michelle though because she's actually 45 years old (shh!). Word is Rosario Dawson is in talks.

And they are stealing ideas from Sweeney/Company and will have the actors playing the instruments while they sing through the movie script.

I heard that Sondheim will be re-working the score and that the film will be presented in the same structure as Merrily We Roll Along and the action will take place backwards.
Borrowing from Follies, each cast member will also have an adult counterpart

Menzel, Chenoweth, Pascal, Rapp, Cerveris and LuPone are all on board as well :)

No the Adult Women will play the guitar. Mortiz is playing the flute.

I've seen the Julie Taymor puppet sketches for the film version, as well.

Brilliant!

But how will they make "Totally f**ked" adaptable to make the PG-13 rating? What word will they substitute?

Forgotten

They always replace F*** with forget so that people say "FORGET YOU!!!"


In other news, they are already planning a tv spinoff of the movie.

The CG FX on this one are going to be MASSIVE.

Spielberg's already working out the details with Lucas and ILM.

Don't worry about her age, she's being replaced by Andy Serkis as Gollum from LOTR anyway.
