A Love Song for Bobby Long is the poignant story of a wayward girl and two men, each scarred by their pasts, who struggle to mend their broken lives and create a home together in a forgotten section of New Orleans.
Starring John Travolta, Scarlett Johansson, Gabriel Macht and Deborah Kara Unger, A Love Song for Bobby Long is the feature film directorial debut of Shainee Gabel (Anthem), who wrote the screenplay based on Ronald Everett Capps’ soon-to-be-published novel, Off Magazine Street.
Upon hearing of her mother’s death, jaded teenage loner Purslane Hominy Will (Scarlett Johansson) returns to New Orleans for the first time in years, ready to reclaim her childhood home.
Expecting to find her late mother’s house abandoned, Pursy is shocked to discover that it is inhabited by two of her mother’s friends: Bobby Long (John Travolta), a former literature professor, and his young protégé, Lawson Pines (Gabriel Macht).
