Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World

[Prince Whiskers]

Well, this means an up-tempo album, right? Something like "One Heart" I guess maybe a bit rockier.

That's a good guess. We shall see.

[mirage]

It's also a good opportunity to advertise her new album during the commercials before the movie!

 

didn't think about that... we get the whole thing together ;-)

[Yakir]

Believe me, I can't wait to spring 2010

I hope this film will come to Israel

[Nmj]

I dont beleive it will

[JCeline85]

i think the DVD for this will be out very soon after it's in theatres.. the same company (the hot ticket) also did a theatrical showing of the broadway musical "RENT" and it was in select theatres for a short period and only a couple months later it was out on DVD.. i think this will be the same situation. I will be exciting to go to movies now and perhaps see a trailer for Celine. Either way.. a concert dvd or this is just exciting. Something is better than nothing...

[Timster]

The title reminds me of Au Coeur du Stade...

 

At the heart of the stadium - Through the eyes of the world?

About The ShowCELINE DION ENTERTAINS THE WORLD IN

THE HOT TICKET'S PRESENTATION OF

"CELINE: THROUGH THE EYES OF THE WORLD"

 

CULVER CITY, Calif., December 3, 2009 – Celine Dion, the international superstar and best-selling female artist of all time, has toured around the world and back again, and now, Sony Pictures Releasing’s special programming division, The Hot Ticket, will let audiences follow her everywhere. For a limited engagement beginning early next year in wide release, Celine: Through the Eyes of the World will bring Celine Dion’s 2008-2009 Taking Chances World Tour to theaters. This special motion picture event gives Dion fans who attended the extremely popular tour – which placed Dion second only to Madonna in ticket sales in 2008 – another chance to experience the magical event, this time from a vantage point unparalleled by any ticket.

 

Join Celine as she travels to five continents and 25 countries, putting on show-stopping performances of some of her biggest hits. However, this world tour is different as Celine is traveling with her husband, her 8-year-old son, her mother, and her extended family. Intercutting concert performances with behind the scenes footage, audiences will get the chance to really know Celine, her family, and her co-performers as well as those fans that she meets and performs for around the world. Inspirational, moving, honest and surprisingly funny, Celine: Through the Eyes of the World captures Dion’s deft balance between the demands of an elaborate and extensive year-long worldwide tour and Dion’s top priority – caring for and enjoying time with her family.

 

Commenting on the announcement, Rory Bruer, president of Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Releasing, said, “Celine Dion is a beloved performer all around the world and early next year, The Hot Ticket will offer fans a front row seat as she performs on stage her most recognized hits. Through this special film, audiences will also see Celine as they have never seen before as she travels and interacts with her family and creative collaborators while touring extraordinary and exotic locations around the globe. We believe Celine: Through the Eyes of the World offers a unique perspective on Celine, her life, and her inspiring dedication to creating a stage experience like no other.”

 

Celine added, "This was an amazing world tour, but there's a lot more than just concert footage on this film. I let the cameras follow me everywhere. There are a lot of ups and downs, and it's very personal...and it's definitely the most intimate journey that I've ever shared with my fans."

 

Having sold more than 200 million albums around the world, Celine Dion is one of the most immediately recognized, widely respected and successful performers in pop music history. During her spectacular career Celine has been honored with over 1000 awards. She is a 5 time Grammy Award winner, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Album for Falling Into You (1996); and Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "My Heart Will Go On" (1998). Her recordings have won two Academy Awards®: Best Original Song in 1992 for the title song of Beauty and the Beast (with Peabo Bryson), and Best Original Song in 1998 for "My Heart Will Go On" (From Titanic). She has earned 7 American Music Awards, 20 Juno Awards (Canada) and an astonishing 40 Felix Awards (Quebec). In 2004, Celine received the Diamond award at the World Music Awards recognizing her status as the best-selling female artist of all time. In 2007 she was honored with the Legend Award at World Music Awards in recognition of her global success and outstanding contribution to the music industry.

 

On her Taking Chances World Tour, which took place between February 2008 and February 2009, Dion played concerts in South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, China, South Korea, Australia, Malaysia, the UK, Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Italy, Monaco, Canada, Mexico, and 41 cities in the United States. The 5-continent, 25-country, 93-city tour – Dion’s first in nine years – was wildly successful, selling over three million tickets.

 

Stephane Laporte, director of the film, added, “After touring the world with Celine, I can say confidently that there is no performer anywhere like her. She is a consummate entertainer – not only was she committed to giving the fans who came to the shows the best performances she could, but she was just as committed to this film, to make it entertaining and give some insight into what it's like to be on the road for a year with one's family. This is Celine’s world and it's a wonderful experience to live in it and be a part of it.”

Wow! A new album?! Next summer?! It would be awesome to get to see the documentary in a movie theater! Too bad I don't live in a major US city. I love the fact that they're using the old Céline logo. Thank you so much for sharing the news!

[Shaun]

ok why are people still saying its limited release, its not. The website itself even says in theater everywhere spring 2010!

 

"Everywhere" could still mean quite literally one cinema per state....

[lindsey22]

Wow! Lots of news! What I'm most happy about is that Celine is not a wreck after 3 failed IVF. She's so strong! I guess already having a child helps a lot too.

So.... when are the school holidays in the U.S.? I need to make sure I can go to Vegas

The new album must be the live album, right?

i cant believe your talking about l.v. already

[CSCfan]

"Everywhere" is very relative....

[celínico_sin_remedio]

"Everywhere" is very relative....

 

 

Yep, that's exactly what I was thinking. And even more relative when we're talking about Sony. Anything could mean "nationwide" for them... even "everywhere". Look at the "biggest selling female artist of all time" logo they always use to present our diva. Mariah or Whitney also have the "biggest selling female artists of all time" logo at their presentations... Well, my point: anything about Sony is relative.

[Nmj]

If it comes out in mid may and stays for a few weeks ...then summer begins they probably will release the DVD fall of next year in time for Christmas Sales... They are crazy they missed an oppertunity this year

[dj_a_rock]

I thought she is out of Sony?

[tjfox79]

I just wish Celine can perform here in our country. Her amazing therapeutic voice can lift our peoples spirit w/ typhoon Ondoy and Maguindanao massacre scarring us.

[ladylindsey]

The real question is...shouldn't it really be titled The World: Through the Eyes of Céline???? isn't it from Céline's viewpoint, not the fans? Edited December 6, 2009 at 07:42 AM by ladylindsey

[Frozen_Phoenix]

Anyway, I doubt that they will also show the documentary outside the US, right?

I would love to see it in Germany with subtitles.

[CSCfan]

LOL! That would be more logical yes...

But the I whole point/theme of the recording was to show how the world (especially the non-fans) sees Céline.....

[superstarleash]

So do we know if this will be definitely shown in other countries like Australia??? I would be devastated if it wasn't. If it is I should start saving now for the vast amount of tickets I am going to need to buy....

[nuts2you]

I may have to see this two aor three times. before it leaves..

[Julian]

I dont believe in a world wide release... I am not sure about Europe.... Maybe the french speaking countries and poland....

[WendyB]

Or maybe the capital cities of each European country she visited.

 

London is too far away for me to attend

[Nmj]

I also have a friend (source) that believes that this screening will only be in the USA and Canada + Paris, France

[Claudette]

So I've been thinking: what are the odds of getting any of those moments where she started laughing and rolling around on the piano in the middle of ''My Love'' in something like a ''blooper'' part (seeing as it will probably not be part of the movie)? Some of those moments are just so funny... like the one in Edmonton. The smile she had on her face... priceless! I would pay a lot of money to see how the whole thing played out. Apparantly she had to restart two times that night.

 

Edit: By the way, I think it would be totally unfair towards Celine's fans in the rest of the world if they release this only in the USA, Canada and France. It is not like she has only a few fans in other countries... I mean, just in South Africa she must have a shitload of fans considering she is the biggest selling artist in our country (even selling more albums than our local artists).
