A documentary based on the life and career of renowned singer Céline Dion is officially in the works. The untitled project will be directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Irene Taylor and produced by Sony Music Entertainment. She notes that it’s “very personal,” and the audience can expect to see a part of her that they’ve never seen before.
Behind the Scenes of a Global Superstar
Dion and Taylor released a statement regarding the project on the singer’s official website.
“I’ve always been an open book with my fans, and with her sensitivity and thoughtful creativity, I think that Irene will be able to show everyone a part of me that they haven’t seen before. I know she’ll tell my story in the most honest and heartfelt way,” Dion stated.
Add to that, Taylor said, “Going on this journey with a legendary artist such as Céline Dion is an extraordinary opportunity for me as a filmmaker. Having access to examine her life and inimitable career will allow me to create a multifaceted portrait of an iconic, global superstar, which I look forward to sharing with the world.”
Documentary in the Works
Tom Mackay, president of Sony’s Premium Content Division, expressed how honored they are to collaborate with Dion and produce this long-awaited documentary. “Led by Irene Taylor’s incredible artistic vision, we look forward to celebrating Dion’s life achievements and crafting a distribution strategy to reach her fans around the globe,” he remarked.
According to Sony, production on the untitled project has commenced, but a release date is yet to be announced.
In other news, Dion will return to Las Vegas later this year to perform at Resorts World. The sought-after artist will also resume her Courage Global Tour, which was cut short in 2020 due to the pandemic. Dates are set for spring and summer of 2022 across North America and Europe. Â
