We learned that Celine Dion was “intrigued” through Aline, the film that Valérie Lemercier dedicates to him but nothing led to believe that she would really want to see it. The singer, currently at rest due to severe muscle spasms that would prevent her from walking properly, will she occupy her convalescence by viewing the work? Possible!
Long questioned by the Sunday Newspaper in its edition of November 7, 2021, Valérie Lemercier visibly had new … positive echoes. “It seems that Celine finally said yes to see my film“, confided the actress and director, who has been carrying this improbable project since 2017, which was to be released last year but had been canceled due to a pandemic. At the time, the star had wandered home in a coat, dejected by the situation. In the pages of the newspaper The Parisian, in September 2020, Celine Dion declared: “I’ve heard of it, but not from her. I haven’t met her. But I can’t wait to see. I hope it will be super beautiful.“However, she did not understand the choice to name her character Aline Dieu … Months later, the moment has arrived for Celine Dion to discover the film!
This project, with a budget of 20 million euros and shot in several countries including the United States, Valérie Lemercier is particularly keen on it. Unsuspected fan of the interpreter of my heart Will Go On, she hopes to pay him a nice tribute. “I could have met her before the shoot, but it would have been five minutes between two doors. And the photo immortalizing the moment would have taken precedence over the rest: we would have seen that I did not look like him, that would have ruined everything. I would like Céline to appreciate the care I took in recounting her exceptional destiny. And I especially hope that she doesn’t feel betrayed“, she added to JDD.
