Demetri Martin is currently known as a breath of fresh comedy with his brilliant use of drawings and wordplay in his stand-up, as well as channeling the late Mitch Hedburg in his quirky everyday observations on his Comedy Central show, Important Things with Demetri Martin. While he looks like a young and upcoming comedian in his early 20's, Martin is actually 36 years old. He's appeared on HBO's Flight of the Conchords and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and had a small part in The Rocker, but now he's taking to the big screen with the lead role in Ang Lee's new film Taking Woodstock.

This period comedy follows the story of Elliot Tiber, stuck working at his parents failing motel in the Catskills in the summer of 1969. But when he finds out that some sort of hippie gathering called Woodstock needs a place to go down, he gladly offers a helping hand to help bring some tourism to his family's failing business. Based on a true story and book of the same name by Elliot Tiber himself, Ang Lee's throwing a curveball here with a movie completely unlike anything he's done before.

The trailer has all sorts of great moments, many of them involving a cast of oddballs at Woodstock including Emile Hirsch, Eugene Levy and for some reason Liev Schreiber in drag. The film looks like a lot of fun, and I'm really looking forward to see what Ang Lee can do with some comedic, not-so-steamy subject matter. But of course it's Woodstock so there's bound to be some sex. Trailer is below and the film comes out August 14th of this year. What do you guys think?
