Alex_Incognito Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:03 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:03 PM What a disappointing "first movie" move. If only she was the lead. 1 Quote "People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."- Céline Dion, 1990
Céline RO Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:09 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:09 PM (edited) Why do people keep calling it “Céline’s movie debut”?! It’s only a tiny appearance that she’s going to make, the same way she used to do from time to time in the 90s. Only now, with social media and the evolution of the internet, it’s way more publicized (and dramatized). To put it into perspective, according to Team Céline, SSDA album trivia is more important than this. That says it all.

Céline RO Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:11 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:11 PM wow, that's pretty much just a cameo Well that’s exactly what it is. Quote The best is yet to come...
ryba Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:23 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:23 PM Well that’s exactly what it is.The way everyone talked about it, it appeared like an actual proper role, and not just 8 minutes Quote
maki_Dion-er Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:30 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 08:30 PM I'm still gonna hold out a little hope because this hollywood version is inspired by the German film, not an exact remake. The synopsis of the original movie doesn't even mention the singer but in this adaptation they do, her music is a plot point.She'll also get to speak instead of just a random musical scene. Like, I never expected her to have that much screentime. 3 Quote

Only now, with social media and the evolution of the internet, it’s way more publicized (and dramatized). To put it into perspective, according to Team Céline, SSDA album trivia is more important than this. That says it all. Because Deadline broke the news in that way. The cast has talked about working with Celine as if she's a full blown cast member. And one of the producers is hyped about working with Celine. We are assuming it's one scene because of the original, and it might just be one scene but having one scene that is influential to the plot is not the same as a cameo. Deadline also then released a video where they mention something about Celine's deal not being finished. Perhaps legally TC can't make any announcements until Celine has signed. If it's not this then even a simple cameo should at least get a like from TC, but we know how lame her sm handlers are. 1 Quote
mirage Posted October 29, 2020 at 09:38 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 09:38 PM Still amazed that people had such high hopes for a leading role, while it was obvious from the start its just a cameo. Like I said earlier, it's just to make headlines they announced Céline with the other 2 actors. She is way more interesting. Quote
PuraVida Posted October 29, 2020 at 09:50 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 09:50 PM 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? That would be a good idea. I don't know if they mean, the music of Celine, or the music of Celine's character. We'll find out! They could bring on someone talented to write a soundtrack for the movie. Or just introduce some new songs with Celine's old ones. Quote
Chantemoi Posted October 29, 2020 at 09:55 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 09:55 PM Anyone ever seen “I Heart Huckabees”? Shania Twain has a 30 sec. cameo in the film, but really it’s much more than that. I don’t even want to post the clip.. Because there was such a buildup to her appearance (in several other scenes with the lead cast members), that viewing her cameo alone doesn’t do it justice. That’s kind of what I’m imagining in this film, as a bare minimum.. or best case scenario, she gets even more acting scenes than that! But guess what: we won’t know for another 2 years, so let’s just chill out and wait for it 4 Quote
sarit_celine Posted October 29, 2020 at 10:19 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 10:19 PM I don't raise my hopes until the full information is out, but yes it's pretty exciting.

Balao Posted October 29, 2020 at 11:31 PM Posted October 29, 2020 at 11:31 PM (edited) It's bulls**t. In France, they wrote "son vrai premier role" (her first time as the main actress) but they should rather write "son premier vrai role" (her first time as more than a cameo) which is not the same. It's misleading.If I understood well, she's not the lead actress and she's playing the role of herself. Edited October 29, 2020 at 11:31 PM by Balao Quote

Balao Posted October 30, 2020 at 12:36 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 12:36 AM And that's bad because?? I am not criticizing the news in itself. I am very happy that Céline is in a movie. I am criticizing the way the media are talking about it, once again overselling something regarding Céline.For example, last week, she tweeted a video with Goldman. And some websites titled "Céline IS working with Goldman" as if she was working right now with Goldman and you had to read the article to read "she is working with Goldman in the video that dates back to 1997 as you can see, blah blah blah..." 2 Quote

I know that many people here are starving for her to do anything but if it's not something of quality I am not interested to have her legacy tarnished. For me, Céline is such a legend that she could act in a dozen of bad films and her legend would not be tarnished in any way. Elvis acted in many films which were not good and he's still considered a legend. 2 Quote
scielle Posted October 30, 2020 at 12:42 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 12:42 AM This will be corny as hell. I know that many people here are starving for her to do anything but if it's not something of quality I am not interested to have her legacy tarnished. Agreed. The synopsis is nauseating. Judging by the brief description, not something I would ever waste time on, if not for curiosity around her involvement. Much more interested in seeing Aline. 1 Quote
celinefanonline Posted October 30, 2020 at 02:16 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 02:16 AM btw the articles didn't mention if this is just a cameo or more than that, also does it mean Celine will be herself? or play as another famous singer?? and got more appearance in the movie?

Nmj Posted October 30, 2020 at 02:32 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 02:32 AM What a disappointing "first movie" move. If only she was the lead. It might still be a well done film. But the chances of Hollywood casting a 52 year old never before actor as a lead role are slim to none. Unfortunately Hollywood is ageist, probably especially for someone in a debut role. 2 Quote
SuperLove4Celine Posted October 30, 2020 at 03:24 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 03:24 AM Oh, brother. This is going to be “Touched By An Angel Pt. 2.” 3 Quote
jpatdeleon09 Posted October 30, 2020 at 04:28 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 04:28 AM (edited) I hope this is a start to make more movies. I think this is a good start than suddenly having the lead role (we don’t want to have a Mariah debacle back in 2001 for doing the lead role). It builds up her acting skills. Start at supporting roles then to bigger roles. Edited October 30, 2020 at 04:30 AM by jpatdeleon09 Quote
Shamrock_1982 Posted October 30, 2020 at 07:05 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 07:05 AM Never get your hopes up these days, when it comes to Celine, you will just be disappointed! Lol 1 Quote
PuraVida Posted October 30, 2020 at 09:24 AM Posted October 30, 2020 at 09:24 AM Celine did some acting here. 8:15...it's basically a 6 minute argument lol, wish I could understand French for this 1 Quote

But Hollywood is ageist that’s just a fact, so is the music industry, as we all know. Celine’s role could be bigger than the German version, and I think it will be, maybe similar to Shanias.. but still probably a “supporting” and not a “lead” role. 1 Quote
DionFanAlways Posted October 30, 2020 at 04:37 PM Posted October 30, 2020 at 04:37 PM Lol there is going to be a lot of heated discussions in this thread before the movie ever makes it to the screen. She is just that powerful! 3 Quote I have had the time of my life following this woman! Much love.

Dancing_Queen Posted October 30, 2020 at 05:19 PM Posted October 30, 2020 at 05:19 PM I could see this being either campy fun or a complete cringe fest. It really depends on the execution.Aline as a concept sounded terrible, but now I'm actually interested in seeing it. So you never really know in advance. Sometimes I wish they'd just spring things on us unexpectedly, because I'm already dreading the months of members complaining about something they haven't seen yet.. 😩 4 Quote
