Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays a closetedmarried man having an affair with Tiber, and Paul Dano and Zoe Kazanplay a hippie couple attending the concert.
Emile Hirsch talked about the mudslide scene (below) last year, to EW: "The mud's pretty cold. It's later in the year than it was duringWoodstock. We were all shivering, and we had these silver-foil spaceblankets that miraculously keep you really warm…I did a Supermanslide down a hill, and started turning on my back. I was covered inmud. I think there was pig crap mixed in, because we all smelled likecrap."
Check out the trailer AFTER THE JUMP, which Demitri Martin introduces in his trademark drawing style…
