Focus Features has released the official trailer for “Song Sung Blue,” which will be released nationwide in theaters on Dec. 25.
Directed by Craig Brewer, the musical drama stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as a married couple who form a Neil Diamond tribute band. Rounding out the cast are Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. Brewer also penned the script.
Based on Greg Koh’s 2008 documentary of the same name, “Song Sung Blue” follows the true story of Milwaukee couple Mike and Claire Sardina, down-on-their-luck musicians who became local icons by performing as Lightning & Thunder. The film also borrows its name from the 1972 Diamond song.
Producing alongside Brewer are John Davis and John Fox for Davis Entertainment. Erika Hampson and Greg Kohs are executive producing the project.
Jackman, who recently starred in “Deadpool and Wolverine” alongside Ryan Reynolds, is best known for his roles in “Les Misérables,” “X-Men,” “Logan” and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” His other acting credits include “The Greatest Showman,” “The Son,” “Free Guy” and others.
Hudson most recently starred in the Netflix comedy series “Running Point,” in which she plays the president of a legendary professional basketball team. In March, “Running Point” picked up a quick Season 2 renewal that came one week after the series debuted. Hudson’s acting credits also include “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” “Almost Famous,” “Bride Wars,” “Fools Gold” and more.
