It’s been nearly a decade since Hugh Jackman last dropped a musically powered movie around the holidays. The Greatest Showman became a massive hit, and now we’ll see if lightning can strike twice. The trailer for the new film Song Sung Blue is here, and fans of Jackman, or Neil Diamond, are likely to get excited.
Song Sung Blue stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as Mike and Claire Sardina, a couple who come together due to a love of performing and of Neil Diamond. They form the Diamond tribute act Lightning & Thunder, and fall in love in the process. The film is based on a 2008 documentary of the same name, which followed the real couple, who became local superstars through their act.
Based on the first glance, it looks like Song Sung Blue is going to have a lot that movie fans are going to be looking for this holiday season. Jackman and Hudson look great together. The romance, which is the true focus of the film, is sure to have some difficulties, but this looks like just the heartwarming story people like to see at Christmas.
As somebody whose Neil Diamond knowledge also largely starts and ends with “Sweet Caroline,” I’m also looking forward to the soundtrack, which is sure to be filled with plenty of great music. If the movie has a big enough impact, we could certainly see a larger resurgence of Diamond as people discover, or rediscover, his music through the film.
