Check Out the Trailer for Ang Lee’s ‘Taking Woodstock’

Earlier today Focus Features announced on their Twitter feed the trailer for Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock would be debuting on the finale of “Important Things” with Demetri Martin at 10:30 pm on Comedy Central. Well, it did debut and it has since found its way online for all to enjoy.

The film is an adaptation of Elliot Tiber’s memoir “Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, A Concert, and A Life” and stars Emile Hirsch, Liev Schreiber, Imelda Staunton, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Henry Goodman, Eugene Levy, Paul Dano, Dan Fogler, Zoe Kazan and Mamie Gummer with a release date of August 14.

Check out the trailer directly below and I have also added the synopsis below that for those that may be interested.

Tiber played an unexpected but pivotal role in making the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. Working as an interior designer in Greenwich Village during culturally and politically exciting times, Tiber felt empowered by the gay-rights movement. But he was also still staked to the family business – a Catskills motel. As its part-time manager, he had become the local town’s issuer of event permits, granting himself one annually for a small music festival. When he heard that the planned Woodstock concert had had its own permit denied by a neighboring town, he called to offer his own. Soon half a million people were on their way to Tiber’s neighbor’s farm in White Lake, New York, and Tiber found himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life, and American culture, forever.
