• Ang Lee Takes Woodstock

  Ang Lee is nothing if not a varied and highly original filmmaker. He's tackled everything from martial arts to green monsters to gay cowboys.

  Lee's latest venture is a comedy based around the infamous 1969 Woodstock Festival entitled Taking Woodstock. The true story is based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber entitled Taking Woodstock: The True Story of a Riot, a Concert and a Life.

  Regular Lee collaborator James Schamus (Brokeback Mountain, The Ice Storm) will adapt the screenplay. Focus Features will produce the project.

• Ang Lee is one racy man

  Looks like Ang Lee's latest movie is even racier than the Gyllenhaal-Ledger love scenes from Brokeback Mountain.

  The Oscar-winning director's upcoming feature, a Mandarin-language espionage thriller called Lust, Caution has just received an NC-17 rating from the MPAA. His studio (Focus Features), however, is standing by the picture, which they hope might be of award caliber.

  Lust, Caution will screen at the upcoming Toronto film festival.
