Brokeback Mountain director Ang Lee will make
another gay-focused movie, this one about the gay man who
helped make the 1969 Woodstock music festival a
reality. Taking Woodstock is based on Elliot
Tiber's 2007 memoir of the same name, according to
Reuters. Tiber, who was working as an interior designer and
part-time Catskills hotel manager, headed the Bethel, N.Y.,
Chamber of Commerce, which issued the permit for the
famous festival.
Focus Features'
CEO, James Schamus, will adapt Tiber's book for the
screen. Schamus was cowriter of Lee's recent
film Lust, Caution. Schamus and Lee
also worked together to make the gay-themed comedy
The Wedding Banquet, released in 1993.
Brokeback Mountain, released in 2005, was
Focus's biggest hit. (The Advocate)
