I actually thought The Sapphires was released sometime last year, but apparently it’s not heading to theaters until March 22, 2013. And in support of its upcoming theatrical release, The Weinstein Company has put out this new trailer for the music-driven comedy.
Directed by Wayne Blair, The Sapphires stars Chris O’Dowd, Deborah Mailman, 2006 Australian Idol runner-up Jessica Mauboy, Shari Sebbens, and Miranda Tapsell.
The Plot:
Inspired by a true story, The Sapphires follows four vivacious, young and talented Australian Aboriginal girls from a remote mission as they learn about love, friendship, and war when their all-girl group The Sapphires entertains the U.S. troops in Vietnam in 1968. Cynthia, Gail, Julie and Kay are discovered by Dave, a good-humored talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music. As their manager, Dave books the sisters their first true gig giving them their first taste of stardom, and travels them to Vietnam to sing for the American troops.
