Crazy, Man Too Funny! Totally CoolThere is a new movie about the original 1969 Woodstock concert, and the trailer is now available.
The film Taking Woodstock tells the true story of Elliot Tiber, who helped organizer Michael Lang secure a concert permit for 1969 music festival in upstate New York. The film was directed by Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and also stars Emile Hirsch, Liev Schreiber, Imelda Staunton and Eugene Levy as Max Yasgur, whose farmland became the stage for Woodstock.
This summer is the 40th anniversary of the infamous 1969 Woodstock concert, and rumors are flying about another massive Woodstock. Original producer Michael Lang has been hinting about plans for one concert in New York City and another in Berlin.
But Joel Rosenma, Lang’s producing partner for 40 years, says the concert hasn’t been booked yet and therefore likely won’t happen this year. “It may not be the year for Woodstock,” he says. “We’ve had some very encouraging news about this year in the past few weeks, but we don’t know for sure. We’re not going to let some technical number, some digit, determine when the next Woodstock is. We’re going to let something bigger than that determine it.” Would that be money?
