Ang Lee Going Gay at 'Woodstock'
Saddle up and ride back to the '60s
Ang Lee is back to work with Focus yet again as he is set to direct the gay-themed Woodstock memoir Taking Woodstock.
Focus' CEO, James Schamus, will adapt Elliot Tiber's 2007 book, "Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, a Concert, and a Life," which centers on the colorful life of a Greenwich Village-based interior designer and part-time Catskills hotel manager who headed the Bethel, N.Y., Chamber of Commerce. He issued the permit for the legendary 1969 concert on his neighbor Max Yasgur's farm.
This continues Lee's stay at Focus as he has directed several films for the studio including last year's Lust, Caution and, of course, Brokeback Mountain.
No word on when the production would get underway.
