If the drama/comedy with great musical numbers is your thing then The Sapphires is a movie that you should be keeping an eye out for.
Originally a stage play The Sapphires has been re imagined for the big screen by director Wayne Blair as Tony Briggs and Keith Thompson have penned the screenplay.
And we have the new trailer for you to take a look at:
Jessica Mauboy, Deborah Mailman and Shari Sebbens have come together to play the singing McCrae sisters while the very funny Chris O'Dowd will play their manager.
Deborah Mailman has been working in TV and film for many years while this movie is set to be the biggest role for both Jessica and Shari.
Larger-than-life sisters Gail, Cynthia and Julie, along with their wayward cousin Kay, have killer voices and attitudes to match.
Performing Country and Western in an Australian outback singing contest, they catch the attention of Dave Lovelace (Chris O’Dowd), a struggling Irish musician with a penchant for whisky and a passion for soul music.
It may not sound like a match made in heaven but Dave notices a sparkling talent in the girls and it becomes clear that they could be something special...they just need the right man to take them on.
As they embark on a hilarious journey of highs and lows, courage and commitment, friendship and family, they discover that all you need to succeed is a little heart...and a lot of soul.
The Sapphires is released 7th November.
