Kate Hudson was joined by her fiancé Danny Fujikawa, parents Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, and brothers Oliver and Wyatt Russell for a special screening of her upcoming movie *Song Sung Blue* in Aspen, Colorado, on December 23. The Hudson family has a longstanding holiday tradition in Aspen, where they spend Christmas together, benefiting from the idyllic winter setting that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have called home for decades.
The screening featured not only performances from Hudson but also a special appearance by Neil Diamond, the film’s musical inspiration. Diamond, accompanied by his wife Katie McNeil Diamond, brought additional star power to the event, celebrating the film’s connection to his timeless music.
In *Song Sung Blue*, set to hit theaters on December 25, Hudson stars alongside Hugh Jackman. The film follows the fictional couple Mike and Claire Sardina, played by Hudson and Jackman, as they navigate the ups and downs of running a Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning & Thunder. The story portrays their journey from struggling musicians to successful performers, with a narrative infused with Diamond’s unforgettable hits.
At the film’s New York City premiere earlier this month, Hudson and Jackman playfully hinted at the possibility of taking their characters on an actual concert tour. Hudson noted her initial unfamiliarity with Diamond’s music, admitting that it wasn’t a significant part of her upbringing. However, she expressed her enthusiasm for intertwining his songs with the storyline and described the filmmaking experience as “wonderful,” highlighting the movie’s ability to entertain and inspire.
As the Hudson family prepares for the holidays and the upcoming movie release, it promises to be a festive time filled with film, family, and music, encapsulating the spirit of the season.
