Focus Features has unveiled the first official trailer for Song Sung Blue, a heartwarming comedy directed by Craig Brewer that’s inspired by the true story of a Neil Diamond tribute act. The film is a fictional adaptation of Greg Kohs’ 2008 documentary of the same name, which chronicled the real-life Milwaukee husband-and-wife duo Lightning and Thunder. With Brewer’s signature touch of humor and authenticity, the story is reimagined as a spirited musical comedy about chasing love, laughter, and second chances.
The film stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire Sardina, a married couple who find new life in music by performing as a Neil Diamond cover duo. Their story balances the highs of small-scale stardom with the lows of personal and professional struggles, offering a moving yet joyous portrayal of resilience. The chemistry between Jackman and Hudson shines in the footage, their energy radiating through performances that are both comedic and touching.
Bringing depth and humor to the ensemble, the cast also includes Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens, and Jim Belushi. Together, they create a vibrant world that feels both larger-than-life and deeply grounded in the messy realities of relationships, fame, and the price of dreams.
Song Sung Blue celebrates the transformative power of music, not merely as performance but as a source of healing and connection. The film promises to be unabashedly uplifting — with a dash of cheesiness that only adds to its charm. Its tone suggests a classic feel-good holiday release, reminding audiences that it is never too late to find love, pursue passions, and embrace joy on even the most unlikely stages.
Slated for release on December 25, 2025, Song Sung Blue is shaping up to be a festive and emotional musical comedy, appealing to both longtime Neil Diamond fans and anyone who believes in the power of chasing dreams at any age. This looks like the kind of film that leaves audiences smiling, singing, and maybe even believing a little more in second chances.
