Universal Pictures are delighted to present the trailer for
SONG SUNG BLUE
IN CINEMAS 25 DECEMBER
Based on a true story, two down-on-their-luck musicians (Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson) form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams.
When Mike Sardina (Hugh Jackman) meets Claire Stengl (Kate Hudson), he’s a small-time musician on the gigging circuit. A recovering alcoholic and Vietnam vet, Mike moonlights as a mechanic to support what he really loves most: to play music and perform, no matter how big the crowd, no matter how empty the dive bar. When he sees Claire up on stage in her Patsy Cline act, he spots the same passion in her, and they discover a cosmic kinship that begins a love story found both on and off a shared stage.
From writer and director Craig Brewer comes a sweeping epic about the profound romantic and creative partnership between two down-on-their-luck musicians who prove that it’s never too late to find love and chase your dreams.
Based on a true story, Song Sung Blue follows Mike and Claire as they become Lightning and Thunder, a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band that takes them from a small garage to dive bar glory to an unlikely Milwaukee stardom defined by their moving devotion to one another and the raucous power of “Sweet Caroline.” But when tragedy strikes and plunges them to the bottom, it’s the revelatory power of their love — for music and for each other — that binds the pair, provides a way forward, and ultimately helps them remember one another.
