A Love Song for Bobby Long (2004)
After her mother's death, moody teenage lone wolf Purslane Will (Scarlett Johansson) returns to New Orleans to reclaim her childhood home. She's shocked to discover that two of her mother's friends -- Bobby Long (John Travolta), an ex-literature professor, and his protégé, Lawson Pines (Gabriel Macht) -- have been squatting there for years. In an effort to coexist, this unlikely trio learns how intertwined they really are. Shainee Gabel directs.
Starring: John Travolta, Scarlett Johansson, Gabriel Macht, Deborah Unger, Dane Rhodes, David Jensen, Clayne Crawford, Sonny Shroyer, Walter Breaux, Carol Sutton, Warren Blosjo, Bernard Johnson

Jonathan describes the songs as "really gothic and atmospheric but still heavy." He has admitted, "At first, the movie people were skeptical. I had to convince them it wouldn't sound like Korn or heavy metal." In an article entitled Korn's Vampire Movie!, Jonathan has also stated, "I wrote the music for the band and I'll be Lestat's singing voice in the movie... He's in a rock band, so these are heavy songs, but in their own different way. It's something totally different to Korn. Dark, vampiric music."

Contrary to early rumours that a variety of musical artists would be featured in the film, the soundtrack will mainly consist of brand new tunes by Jon and Richard. Aaliyah may also contribute a song or two, but details of her musical involvement remain sketchy. However, the soundtrack contents have definitely been decided on, and work is well underway on both the songs and score...

At the Death Valley concert held in December, 2000, concert-goers were lucky enough to hear the songs 'Slept So Long' and 'Not Meant For Me' in their entirity. These two songs were extremely well received by the crowd. They're definitely addictive!

Interesting Fact:
As you may or may not know, in the film Lestat is a virtuoso violinist. In order to convey his extraordinary musical abilities, Jon and Richard wrote and produced solo violin pieces and hired Shankar to perform them. Shankar is an unequaled Indian classical virtuoso who is best known in the West for his performances with Peter Gabriel and the group Shakti.
