Serj Tankian is keeping busy with his post-System Of A Down career.
Tankian who is taking on more of a role in his label, Serjical Strike, and recording a solo album has recently entered into the world of movie scores and soundtracks. Tankians work will be featured on the new movie, Bug, which features Ashley Judd and Harry Connick Jr.
The multi-talented Tankian talked about the dark comedy.

"I co-composed for this film called Bug by William Friedkin. It's got Ashley
Judd and Harry Connick Jr. It's a really, really interesting dark, almost dark
comedy kind of. I don't want to talk about the film because I don't know how
they're describing it, but to me it was just really wacky and a really out there
kind of film. So, it was really fun working on it and doing some of the
compositions for it, yeah."
He discussed how he got involved in the film.

"A good friend of mine at Lions Gate called me and said that William Friedkin is
looking for someone to add to the score that they'd already have and to see if
I'd be interested. Friedkin did the Exorcist and all these amazing films. So, I
was definitely interested in meeting him, and I met him. He was a really cool
guy and a gentleman, and I wanted to see what he was looking for. Mostly what he
was looking for was character compositions. So, when a certain character walks
into a frame you want to give a certain type of music to represent their vibe."
The film was originally slated to be released in late 2006, but it's been pushed
back for release sometime in 2007.

Agreed... "post" is a suspicious choice of words.

Yeah, that line made me sad. I don't like how it's put. The movie is kinda weird looking. I'll take a look at the soundtrack when it's released.

I want to see/read this whole interview! I have several bits and pieces of the whole thing but I never seen/read the whole thing :( Interesting way of describing everything, though. It's fun to hear Serj say wacky.
