Comedian Demetri Martin (who I only know from his appearance in an episode of Flight of the Conchords, which he was funny in) is in negotiations for the starring role in Ang Lee’s next project, Taking Woodstock.

Martin is best known for his "Trendspotting" segment on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.

Martin will star as Elliot Tiber, an in-the-closet gay man(Lee had luck the last time his central character was gay) working at his parents' motel in the Catskills, who inadvertently sets in motion the generation-defining concert in the summer of 1969.
