Taking Woodstock is the new film from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee – and it’s a trip!
Based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber (played by comedy star Demetri Martin) who inadvertently played a role in making 1969’s Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was, Taking Woodstock features a standout ensemble cast, and songs from a score of ‘60s musical icons including The Grateful Dead, The Doors and Jefferson Airplane – plus a new recording of “Freedom” from Richie Havens. Taking Woodstock is a joyous voyage to a moment in time when everything seemed possible.
Upon hearing that a planned music and arts festival has lost its permit from the neighboring town of Wallkill, NY, Elliot Tiber (played by comedy star Demetri Martin) calls producer Michael Lang (Jonathan Groff) at Woodstock Ventures to offer his family’s motel (run by his overbearing parents, Jake and Sonia Teichberg (Henry Goodman and Imelda Staunton) to the promoters to help generate some much-needed business.
With a little help from his friends recently returned Vietnam veteran Billy (Emile Hirsch), and cross-dressing ex-Marine Vilma (Liev Schreiber) Elliot finds himself swept up in a generation-defining experience that would change his life – and popular culture – forever.
Taking Woodstock is out in cinemas from November 13th and to celebrate we are teaming up with Universal Studios to give away Taking Woodstock goodie bags which include a Taking Woodstock poster, book and soundtrack.
