‘Taking Woodstock’ Trailer Debuts! Do You Buy Demetri Martin As A Leading Man?

Ang Lee’s ensemble flick, “Taking Woodstock,” boasts an impressive assortment of actors — from Liev Schrieber and Paul Dano to Emile Hirsch. But at its center is one big question mark, Demitri Martin. Honestly I never cared all that much for Martin’s schtick on “The Daily Show.” A little too precious for my taste. BUT I am a fan of his new show, “Important Things” over on Comedy Central. So I’m more than a little curious to see if he can carry a film from as revered a director (and notorious taskmaster) as Lee.

The big question is of course, will this decision to bank on Martin look like genius (ie. Lee’s casting of undiscovered talents like Katie Holmes and Tobey Maguire in “The Ice Storm”) or insanity (ahem, anyone remember Jewel in “Ride with the Devil”?). Here’s the trailer. Tell us what you think.
