Composer Scott Bomar (Mississippi Grind, Here Comes Rusty) is reteaming with director Craig Brewer (Footloose, Coming 2 America) on the upcoming biographical drama Song Sung Blue. The film is written and directed by Brewer and stars Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson, Michael Imperioli, Fisher Stevens, Jim Belushi, Ella Anderson, Mustafa Shakir, King Princess and Hudson Hilbert Hensley. The movie is based on a true story and follows two down-on-their-luck musicians who form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dream. Brewer is also producing the project with John Davis (Predator, Waterworld) and John Fox (Game Night, Jungle Cruise). Bomar (who both scored and serves as the executive music producer of the film) has previously collaborated with Brewer on the features Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan & Dolemite Is My Name and last year’s Peacock series Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist. Song Sung Blue will premiere this coming Sunday, October 26 at AFI Fest and will be released in theaters nationwide on December 25, 2025 by Focus Features.
