Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson will feature in Focus Features' Song Sung Blue, about a Neil Diamond tribute band.

Craig Brewer (Dolemite Is My Name) wrote and will direct the film, which is based on director Greg Kohs' 2008 documentary of the same name about two struggling artists who establish a tribute band to the "Sweet Caroline" singer.
