Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson Movie, Filmed In North Jersey, Coming Soon

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Whether you're a fan of Neil Diamond, Hugh Jackman, Kate Hudson, or all three, this upcoming movie that was filmed in Morris County might be for you.

“Song Sung Blue” is an upcoming movie following the real-life story of “Lightning and Thunder,” a popular Neil Diamond tribute duo.

According to IMDb, the film was shot in the fall last year. Filming locations included Denville and St. Elizabeth’s University in Morristown. The movie was also shot in several New York City locations.

Produced by Focus Films, the musical romance film will feature Hugh Jackman (“X-Men,” “The Greatest Showman”) as Mike Sardina and Kate Hudson (“Almost Famous,” “Glass Onion”) as Claire Sardina.

The cast also includes Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”) and Jim Belushi (“Curly Sue”).

“Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, experience soaring success and devastating heartbreak in their musical journey together,” an IMDb synopsis reads.

Lightning and Thunder formed in the late 1980s with Mike Sardina impersonating Grammy-winning artist Neil Diamond, and Claire Sardina impersonating the likes of Patsy Cline, Barbara Streisand, ABBA, and Blondie.

The pair eventually got married in the mid-90s and performed together until Mike’s death in 2006.
