Saving Silverman leaves a big challenge for a Neil-Diamond-Tribute-Band movie. But Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson make the upcoming Song Sung Blue (2025) look like it has some potential.
Song Sung Blue is based on a true story about the struggles of a couple who formed a Neil Diamond tribute band called Lightening & Thunder. The film is written, co-produced, and directed by Craig Brewer. From the trailer, it looks like much of the film will focus on the struggles of the two characters with some lively Neil Diamond scenes.
The couple’s story was previous told in a 2008 documentary, also called Song Sung Blue. The documentary was directed by Greg Kohs.
Check out the trailer for the documentary below.
The Jackman-Hudson vehicle Song Sung Blue will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2025.
Until then, if you need some Neil Diamond, here he is during the closing credits of the goofy comedy Saving Silverman (2001). I wonder if he will appear in Song Sung Blue?
Leave your two cents in the comments.
