Steven Sater, who penned the original book and stage lyrics, is developing the big screen project with McG, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Spring Awakening follows a group of teenagers in 19th century Germany as they discover their sexuality. It is based on Frank Wedekind's 1891 play, which courted controversy on release due to its masturbation, abortion, rape and suicide references.
The musical wrapped up its Broadway run in January this year and is now playing at London's Novello Theatre.
McG also has espionage thriller Dead Spy Running and a 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea remake in the pipeline.
