Filmmaker Greg Kohs chronicled the Sardinas\u2019 story in his 2008 documentary <em>Song Sung Blue<\/em>, while the upcoming scripted movie was adapted by Craig Brewer (<em>Hustle &amp; Flow<\/em>, <em>Dolemite Is My Name<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The new <em>Song Sung Blue <\/em>trailer starts with all the pep and energy of a feel-good music film as Mike (Jackman) and Claire (Hudson) bond over their desire to entertain people. There\u2019s a short clip of the duo performing Diamond\u2019s \u201cCherry, Cherry\u201d together, as well as a shot of their first kiss as the two bandmates begin to fall in love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The trailer does take a heavy turn halfway through, as Mike and Claire confront hard financial realties, as well as the lingering repercussions of Mike\u2019s time as a soldier in the Vietnam War. Still, there\u2019s a resounding end to the clip, set \u2014 of course \u2014 to \u201cSweet Caroline,\u201d that features a snippet of Mike\u2019s big heart-on-sleeve speech to Claire: \u201cI can\u2019t thank Neil, because every \u2018thank you\u2019 I got belongs to you, doll. You\u2019re my August night, you\u2019re my September morn, you\u2019re my cracklin\u2019 Rosie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Joining with Jackman and Hudson, <em>Song Sung Blue<\/em> boasts a stacked cast that also includes Michael Imperioli, King Princess (who <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/hugh-jackman-king-princess-cover-200209133.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:performed with Jackman at Radio City Music Hall;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">performed with Jackman at Radio City Music Hall<\/a> earlier this year), Ella Anderson, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens, and Jim Belushi.
