I’m so sad to read Pryanka saying “ I know she wanted to be here…”. God it’s so unfair

Yeah...
I feel like the promo budget would have been higher if Celine was involved, and there would be far more interest (the media and public turnout for the premiere last night was pretty pitiful from what I saw... There were more cameras and fans around when Celine was leaving her hotel every day 3 years ago! And I say this from experience because saw both crowds first hand.)
I kinda feel like Sony threw in the towel and is just hoping to break even at this point, and banking on international box office.

Also, where are the reviews? This thing comes out today, and I haven't seen a single one? Did Sony not hold any press screenings or does the press not even care?

I walked by the theatre at about 7:10. Had to be somewhere else for 7:30 so couldn't stop for long,

"Somewhere else" to be?  Suuuuuuure.   Yet you won't see the movie but you're invested enough to walk by the premiere.   Manhattan ain't that small! lol

Priyanka's current story...is this from yesterday or a new screening show coming?

For me this sounds a bit more promising than Love Again.  It never grew on me.

I prefer the snippet of I'll be to the snippet of Love Again. Interesting! Looking forward to listening the whole thing!

Here's a longer version:

To me, the song sounds like Firework by Katy Perry. Also, judging from LA and IB, it would seem she is using more of her upper register for the songs in the soundtrack (the thin, delicate, mixed, head-y, nasal color to her tone rather than her warmer tones)

This song makes me travel back in time during One Heart era

Definitely. The verses remind me of "In His Touch" ans I agree that the choruses are kinda similar to "Firework" and there's a 'The Hard Way' vibe as well, especially during the pseudo gospel choir segment.

Sam & Pri never filmed in person with Celine. Had a feeling. Nice to finally get this cleared up.

It had to do with the Covid protocols at the time, social distancing… Made it look like they were sometimes not in the same room, when in fact they were.

Full interview of Priyanka & Sam in Good Morning America (including a sneak peak of "I'll Be"). Here:

The other way around. They made it look like they were in the same room, when in fact they weren't.

This is good they actually revealed this. It just makes sense as we never had any indication of when Celine did her scenes etc and it was pretty obvious at that time she wasnt moving about

Also to me, based on how Sam/Priyanka were talking about this film and the whole experience months ago...it just felt like this was the case. But they were never asked, or never offered up this info.

It's helpful to know it was more based on COVID than any emerging signs of her illness.

[Shaun]

Whilst not a surprise, it is disappointing to have confirmation they never filmed anything together. Hopefully they all had a chance to Zoom or whatever to “meet” each other and get to know each other. Priyanka and Sam have been so behind Celine on this project it’s been fab to see and hear them praise her all the time.

Another nice interview with Jim. The entire thing is a really good read, but here are the Celine-related excerpts:

"Love Again was originally announced with the title It’s All Coming Back to Me Now, after Céline Dion’s 1996 hit song. Why did that change? It goes against the recent trend of naming films after one of the singer’s biggest songs: Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, Respect, I Wanna Dance with Somebody.

Well, I wouldn’t say the film is “about” Céline in that same way as those. She’s a vital part; I love her character in this, and her music is important. But it’s not The Céline Dion Story. And Love Again is the name of an original song that’s coming out for the film, so we’re hoping that it becomes one of her songs everyone knows! The lyrics speak a little more directly to the themes in the film.

What are some of your best or funniest stories from the Love Again production?
The whole production was really wild, because it [fall 2020] was the height of Covid in London. Every day they would announce, “We’re at Stage 4. Now we’re at Stage 5.” Wait, there are more stages? Yesterday, you said it couldn’t get worse! [Laughs.] So it was a very anxious time to make a film. But every day was really fun. I enjoyed working with the London crew. It was a real family.
I have to say, working with Céline Dion was never something I expected or imagined. It was one of the greatest professional experiences of my life. She is just one of the most charismatic, warm, generous, all-around amazing people in the world. She doesn’t have to be like that. You hope that these icons are, but they don’t have to be. It’s a pleasure when you find someone who is. You can ask my kids; I was just buzzing after working with her.

What’s your favorite album track of hers that most people don’t know?
Love Can Move Mountains. I love the music video for that one, too.

Were you able to get the rights to all her songs that you wanted?
Just getting Céline involved at all was a real process. She works with Sony, she’s a Sony Music artist, so I thought there would be some red tape we could avoid. But no, it was complicated. It took a long time for word to even get to her. Even once we had her officially on board, I thought the song catalog is ours now. But it doesn’t work that way. You have to get permission from the songwriters, and usually there are multiple songwriters for each song.
But we got some great Céline songs in the film. Her music is essential to the story."

Btw does anyone knows how to photoshop, they can try and edit Céline into a photo of Sam and Priyanka on the pink carpet yesterday

[Nmj]

Well on Celine’s InstaStory, she congratulates and gives her love to Pri and Sam and the entire cast, “and that’s the way it is”. Actually signed by Celine not her team! A sign in the right direction lol.
