System of a Down License Music for 'Disturbia'
Posted by Moonette on Monday, April 16, 2007 - 12:20 PM
It's not easy to convince rockers System of a Down to allow for their music to be used in films.

They had never agreed to license any tracks from their library of music before director D.J. Caruso approached them about using a song in the teen thriller "Disturbia," out in theatres Friday.

Their criteria? They had to like the movie.

"I had to show them the movie one day at a private screening," Caruso told andPOP this week. "They saw it, loved it, saw the place for the song and they OK'd it."

While filming "Disturbia," Caruso saw a sequence where he said that their Grammy-nominated song "Lonely Day" would be appropriate.

"I listen to a lot of different music and every once in a while there's a song that seems to fit perfectly in a sequence and that was the song."

He played the song for Shia LaBeouf, who stars as the troubled teen, and who happens to list System of a Down as his favourite band.

System of a Down also agreed to let the song be used in the trailer for "Disturbia."

"They really anchored the soundtrack and that's a big part of the movie. It just worked naturally so I'm glad they saw that it did."

Eh, the movie doesn't sound that good, but it's still cool that "Lonely Day" is in it.

If they've never before licenced their songs to be used in a film, then how come their music can be heard in a handful of other films?

I'm with Chili on this one. And also, just to be clear, they are saying that Lonely Day is not only in the trailer, but in the actual film?

I saw the movie on Saturday. They played Lonely Day during the movie. The movie itself was pretty awesome.

Hmmn. That is okay, then, I suppose. Anyway, for those of you who may be interested, on "Ebert & Roeper," though, there was a guest in for Ebert, there was a review of this movie and I think they said it was actually good because it is very suspenseful and they build up the suspence more than show it. ...That sounds okay.

Hahahaha, that's cool. I used to watch Shia on Even Stevens all the time. That's cool that he likes SOAD. :)

RC had a good point.

I saw the trailer and the movie looked pretty shitty, but if System liked it I might...rent it?... someday? Eh.

Must be some misinformation, but their music has been in some movies before this, so I'm not sure about the licensing. Case-in-point: Strangeland.

I bet that when the movie comes out on dvd, they will have the lonely day music video in special features.
