Haha, Lainey... she’s probably right!

“Celine is already the Queen of All Feelings, she doesn’t need to be good at acting and, frankly, she won’t be, nobody is expecting this to happen. Because Celine is at all times only one thing: Celine. It’s impossible for her to play anyone else. That said, the story shouldn’t call for her to be anyone else! The whole point of getting Celine Dion to be in your movie is so that Celine can be Celine. Let Celine be Celine!”

They are classifying this as a romantic "drama" not a rom-com. Interesting. The thing that has me puzzled is one of the descriptions says they find love with the help of Celine Dion. To me that means more then 2 lines.

Clearly the story will be about 2 fans that met on  a Céline forum, the drama that happen. Then they met due to their love for Céline and fell in love. The end. Haha

It's nice to see people excited for Celine's participation.

I feel like, worst case scenario, Celine/her music will be a presence in the movie without us seeing her. It'll slowly build up to her introduction scene and from that moment she might have a couple scenes with one or both of the main characters. So in that way, even if she isn't in the movie a lot her role is still important, and it's much more than a cameo (which is a very minor role that has zero baring on the plot).

I'm excited but the fact TC hasn't made a post about this makes me think her contract/negotiations haven't been finalized.

This is wonderful news! I just hate that the media is using the worst pictures they can find of Celine to promote her being in this movie. There are soooooo many great pictures out there to choose from, yet they always manage to pic the absolute worst ones possible. I like the one they used on Instagram to promote it from the Encore Un Soir album, but that's about it. Come on media. Choose better pictures please. Our Queen deserves better promo treatment, especially for something as special as her first big movie role!

[nuts2you]

I wonder where they will do the movie from, and I also wonder if fans will attend the taping .

[Xpresso]

I find it funny that all these articles mention Celine To Star in Her First Movie, etc.  And she most likely will end up playing herself, saying a few lines and singing a song in Vegas. Hmmm downer much?  
I don't want to burst your bubble but if the characters fall in love due to Celine Dion music, she can't play anyone else but Celine. It's a start!

They could easily use footage from the Courage World tour.

She could play a different singer. Just like Lady Gaga and Streisand played other types in A Star is Born.

The media loves to use that picture of her from the Beauty and the Beast remake red carpet....stop it!

The male lead in the German original interacts with Henriette (the character that Celine will be playing in the English version) so they can't just use stock footage from Courage haha...

Here are some photos, I could totally see Celine in this character haha:

Anyone who has seen the German version was able to count up how many minutes total the woman was on screen?

Yup, any German fans here?

Anyway, here's the film on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.c...h/dp/B01L1V2BQW

And here are a few of the reviews haha:

"I thought for a chick flick it was good. Likable characters. Good dialogue. Predictable format but charming."

"While often predictable and cheesy, the movie was fun and full of heart."

"This movie is so bad that words cannot describe it. Any bad comedy cliche you can think of appears in this film. Acting is superfluous and one-dimensional, the story is absolutely predictable, support characters are cartoonish, and singing, YES SINGING, is atrocious. This is a hot mess that should have never seen the light of day."

Quality over quantity. Judi Dench won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love and she only appears for 8 minutes in the screen

And many people highly disagreed with that choice based on the merits and thought Judi was only given it as a compensation for the year prior and her overall stature. What's worse, many also suspect it also to be a result of Harvey Weinstein's influence on the Oscars (since that was his and Miramax's movie). Even Ms Dench herself said she didn't think she deserved it.

Buuut yes, quality over quantity. I just want to see Celine act seriously, even if it's for a few minutes. And hear her sing with amazing recording quality and over cinematic speakers.

[manu23]

If we had to consider Harvey Weinstein's influence, half of the winners in the last 30 years should return their Oscars haha

Well 1998-1999 was an unprecedented year for it, and the start of the new age of award campaigning really. They held a uniquely savage campaign that year, as documented in this video below. I actually think we -should- be highly skeptical of how and why the industry gives its awards. But that's another topic.

I do think Celine could steal the show, though. Who knows maybe another performance at the Oscars if it's that celebrated. I could definitely see critics saying "Well, the movie stunk, but Celine was a bright spot!" Or..."well, the movie wasn't so good, but did you hear Celine Dion's voice?"

I don't see it though. The synopsis says that "her music and influence give them the courage to take a chance on love again."

If it's Celine's music, how can she play another singer?  I see a full Celine soundtrack for this movie... and I guess the song Courage could be part of it too.
Could the soundtrack be "Courage 2" with all the songs that Celine said she would love to release?

Whether we agree with it or not… Whether we want her to play herself for a different character, if they do what you are inferring LOL how awesome would that be to basically base a whole movie around Céline Dion songs. Talk about promotion if they do this right!

Exactly. That is written, so she'll play herself. Otherwise something more vague like "the music and influence of a (famous/big/etc) singer give them the courage to take a chance on love again." And then they invent an "in-movie singer" and Céline would play that. But they mention her specifically.

Sorry I should have clarified, if the movie calls for a concert scene they can easily use The Courage World Tour footage.

I watched our German movie tonight.
The interview between the male character and the singer is in the middle of the movie (10 min).
And the song is at the end of the movie (3 min).

so basically Celines character was in the movie for a total of only 13 minutes? That's by far not enough for Celines movie debut
