On Friday, Dec. 5, Bryan Hartley saw an email from local radio station WYXR. Focus Features and filmmaker Craig Brewer were promoting their new movie “Song Sung Blue,” and they partnered with the station to launch the contest. Memphis singers could enter their name and contact information, and the winner would get to record a cover of a Neil Diamond song at American Recording Studio where he had created “Sweet Caroline.”
The contest fit thematically with the film, which is about a Neil Diamond tribute band, and for Hartley, it was an intriguing possibility.
'Magical day of music': Hugh Jackman surprises Milwaukee high school choir
MILWAUKEE — Actor and singer Hugh Jackman surprised a group of high school choir students Tuesday to promote his upcoming movie "Song Sung Blue."
The Milwaukee High School of the Arts students anticipated watching a preview of the film, but Jackman walked into their classroom to a sea of shocked screams.
"I couldn't even believe that it was real," one student said in a video posted by the school. "It was so cool. And I mean, we go to a public school so we don't really have stuff like that happen to us a lot."
The entire thing was caught on camera, showing the choir class watching a video filmed by Jackman promising to make their "music dreams come true" before saying he had a better idea. Students began to talk among themselves with "no way" being echoed across the stands they were on.

Writer/director Craig Brewer and cinematographer Amy Vincent first worked together 20 years ago on “Hustle and Flow,” the movie that launched Brewer’s career and won two awards at Sundance, including one for Vincent’s cinematography. For Vincent, it was a key formative moment in her evolution as a director of photography.
“We started together very early in our careers, and we learned together,” Vincent told IndieWire. “We were both learning about life, and collaboration, and filmmaking. And I think foundationally, when you grow up with somebody, you end up having shared tastes in many things. Then, when you go away and work outside the partnership, you come back with more gold.”
