SONG SUNG BLUE

World Premiere

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. Written, directed and produced by Craig Brewer (DOLEMITE IS MY NAME, HUSTLE AND FLOW, FIGHT NIGHT: THE MILLION DOLLAR HEIST), the film also features Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi. –Todd Hitchcock

Craig Brewer is renowned for his music-driven storytelling, including breakout hit HUSTLE & FLOW and Southern blues fable BLACK SNAKE MOAN. His feature DOLEMITE IS MY NAME earned Eddie Murphy a Golden Globe nomination, and they continued their collaboration with the long-anticipated sequel COMING 2 AMERICA. Brewer’s latest film, SONG SUNG BLUE, is scheduled to open domestically on Christmas Day for Focus Features.
