This is not an article by The Onion, THR writes:
McG, who is in post on the tentpole “Terminator Salvation,” is not that odd a choice to helm a the film adaptation: The director got his start in the music business, first as a songwriter (he produced Sugar Ray’s first album and co-wrote songs on the second) then as a video director.He also has kept one toe in the teen pool by exec producing such youth-centric shows as “The O.C.,” “Chuck” and the upcoming drama school-set pilot “Limelight.”
Speechless … my hope is that their isn’t enough pyro for McG’s bro-fantasy sensibilities. Perhaps Duncan Sheik can be the voice of reason:
Sater and rocker Duncan Sheik based the musical on an 1891 German play and their resulting work resulted in a runaway Broadway success. The tuner won Tonys for best musical, best book, best original score and best actor. Sater, who shares the movie rights with Sheik and the stage producers of “Awakening”.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
