Ang Lee who brought us dramas like Brokeback Mountain, Sense & Sensibility, and Crouching Tiger has an upcoming movie adaptation and it’s a comedy.. well it’s more like dramedy if you ask me but seems very promising and the trailer has hit the web which you can watch via the media player below. The story is about a man working at his parents’ motel in the Catskills inadvertently sets in motion the generation-defining concert in the summer of 1969.
Starring Demitri Martin who gives us a funny little intro to the trailer, peace!
“Taking Woodstock,” the new film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee, is a 1969-set true story about a man, Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin), who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. Mr. Tiber found himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and American culture, forever. Based on the book by Mr. Tiber with Tom Monte, the screenplay adaptation is by Mr. Schamus.
