But if you want to know nothing about the characters or story, consider yourself warned and stop reading!

I really liked this book.
The part where Elliott brings Woodstock to town is when the book really starts to get fun. I really didn’t know a lot about the history of Woodstock before this.
So
Emile Hirsch – I think I read he plays a Vietnam vet. This character isn’t in the book. My guess he’ll be one of the concert attendees who showed up in town weeks before the concert started and stayed at Elliot’s hotel.
Liev Schreiber – his character Vilma is in the book, but is a grandfather who served under General Patton in World War Two. So it looks like they made him younger. (He’s a transvestite in the book as well!)
JDM – now this is interesting. His character isn’t named (for obvious reasons) and is just mentioned in a passing reference, about 100 words in the whole book.
Here’s most of it (Elliot is gay and into some hard core S & M. His bungalow at the hotel was outfitted out as a dungeon.)
“I had other diversions, however. One of them, whom I’ll call Bill Smith, was married and co-owner of one of the largest and most exclusive hotels in the Catskills. He was gay and needed an outlet. I was the outlet. He’d come over to my place and we’d spend an hour or two in my dungeon bungalow. Every so often, he’d call to make a date.”

Someone claims to have snagged this from the WB official site. I don’t think this is official in any way, but it still looks cool. It looks like a mock up for a poster.
Thanks to KSC at Watchmencomicmovie!
