Ang Lee will lead Venice Film Festival jury
Franck TabouringVenice just can't get enough of Ang Lee.
The award-winning director will head the jury at this year's Venice Film Festival, which runs Sept. 2-12, 2009.
Lee is certainly no stranger to Venice. In 2007, he won the prestigious Golden Lion award for "Lust, Caution" (Se, jie), and in 2005, he won it for "Brokeback Mountain."
Wim Wenders presided over the jury at last year's edition.
Lee is also currently wrapping up "Taking Woodstock," which is set during the summer of 1969 and follows a man whose actions will eventually provoke the birth of the legendary concert.
