When Freddy Wexler was a kid growing up in New York City in the Nineties, there was no artist he loved more than Billy Joel. The 37-year-old singer-producer — who has has written songs for everyone from Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande to Kanye West and Celine Dion — used to sit in his bedroom, put on The Stranger, Turnstiles, or River of Dreams, and dream. “I would imagine it was me performing,” Wexler tells Rolling Stone via Zoom from his house in L.A. “I wanted to be Billy Joel.”

In a refreshing trend shift from the barrage of interconnected superhero flicks, musicals and music-inspired features are making a swift comeback. Hurrah! This next sonorous outing, Song One, comes from writer-director Kate Barker-Froyland, and the first trailer has arrived to sweep you up with its romantic leanings.
In the pic, Interstellar‘s Anne Hathaway careens back down to Earth as Franny, a woman who finds herself adrift with grief when her estranged brother Henry winds up in a coma. Keen to learn more about her brother since she upped sticks years ago, she begins to track down a series of musicians her sibling once loved. One of those talented musos is real-life singer-songwriter Johnny Flynn who plays Hathaway’s love interest, the shy and retired James Forester.
