Over his fifteen year career in the movie business, Liev Schreiber has played many parts. But in Ang Lee’s new movie “Taking Woodstock”, he definitely plays a role he’s never done before. That’s because Ang asked him to play a cross-dressing ex-Marine named Vilma, and he’s great in the role. If you aren’t familiar with Ang Lee’s “Taking Woodstock”, the film is based on the memoirs of Elliot Tiber (played by Demetri Martin) and it’s about his role in making 1969′s Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was. Anyway, after the jump you can watch my video interview with Liev where we talk about how he prepared for the role and what he has coming up. Take a look:
Finally, here’s some movie clips from “Taking Woodstock”, along with the synopsis. The film is opening everywhere tomorrow.

Enough with the video interviews. So damn annoying. That’s what’s wrong with this country: punters who can’t be bothered to read something.

Hey collider Why can’t you write what the interview was about ? That video dose not work and I wanted to know what Schreiber said about Mambo !
I just tested the video out and it plays fine. can you try it on another computer and see if that helps?
