Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn revealed their unwavering desire to collaborate on a film once again, during an intimate conversation with People magazine ahead of Hudson's latest film, "Song Sung Blue," which held a Q&A session in Los Angeles on January 13th. Present at the event was Hawn, Hudson's 80-year-old mother, who echoed her daughter's enthusiasm, although no specific project was in sight.

"Oh, yes! I don’t know what," Goldie, 80, said about a potential joint film. That's when Hudson hinted at her willingness to go to great lengths to make it happen.

"I hope so! It’s got to! I might have to go disappear into the mountains somewhere and just write it myself," Hudson told the magazine, her enthusiasm palpable.

Before the event at AMC The Grove, Hawn praised Hudson’s performance in "Song Sung Blue," where she stars opposite Hugh Jackman as part of a Neil Diamond tribute band.

"We’re so deeply, deeply proud... Not a word I use very often, but I’m in awe of Kate, and I think we all are," the Oscar-winning actress (for "Cactus Flower") said of her daughter. "Kate’s her own thing... I was lucky to carry this little one in my belly and bring her to the world, and that’s what I’m grateful for. She never stops to surprise me or any of us with her talent."

She credited Hudson’s abilities to instinct rather than training, stating that their family learns by example, not instruction. Hawn also added that growing up around filmmaking shaped Hudson naturally, without formal guidance.

Hudson was born in 1979 during Hawn’s marriage to musician and actor Bill Hudson. After their divorce, Hawn began a long-term relationship with Kurt Russell in 1983. Hudson has long considered Russell her father figure.

This heartwarming exchange between mother and daughter showcases their unbreakable bond and their shared love for the cinematic arts.
