Was There Ever Talk of a Spring Awakening Movie?

I saw the show last night and I loved it! I could not help but think that it could make a fantastic transition to the screen. There is an IMDB page for it but it has very little information. It's probably just a formality. Was this ever talked about? I think it could be a big success with the right cast and director. Any thoughts?

Last I heard was that they're still planning it with McG (Charlie's Angels, We Are Marshall, Terminator Salvation, This Means War, Three Days to Kill) at the helm...

Though I personally think Marc Webb would be a much better (and actually good) choice for the position.

I think Spike Lee could a good job with this, after all, he was considered for RENT and instead we got Chris Columbus. God that was a really poor choice...

^ And having seen the script Spike Lee was reportedly ready to film (with Rob Marshall reportedly choreographing), may I simply say it was such a wasted opportunity.

Can you discuss the script you read? I'm interested in hearing about it! I was incredibly bummed out with the film version of RENT. Spike Lee would have been a fantastic choice!

How old do you think they'll cast them? I certainly can't see them casting actual age-appropriate people (would they even be allowed??).

Because of the nudity. (And simulated sex)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Yes, they've been talking about it since about 2008. I doubt we'll ever see it. Nothing has ever come of the "talk".

I'm sure when the time comes it'll hit the screens. I would imagine it wouldn't be a full blown 10million+ production, though. I'd imagine it would be on the scale of the upcoming Last Five Years film.
