Celine Dion is getting her own biopic. It’s about time! 

Her movie — beautifully titled The Power of Love — is in the works from French studio Gaumont, and apparently it’s $23 million budget is going to be full of music (of course). It’s slated for a 2020 release. 

The singer and her record company have authorized the project, and have given rights to her songs like “All by Myself,” “My Heart Will Go On” and “I’m Alive.”

According to Page Six, the film will be directed by Valerie Lemercier, who will also star as Celine! Edouard Weil at Rectangle Productions, the Paris-based banner behind Climax, is producing — in association with Laurent Zeitoun (The Intouchables, Ballerina) and Caramel Films (Ballerina).

Producers say The Power of Love chronicles Celine’s life from her birth and modest upbringing in Quebec in the 1960s to her extraordinary rise to fame as a teen, and also her relationships with her manager and husband, René Angélil, and her family. They also say the movie would be “in the vein of Rocket Man and Bohemian Rhapsody, but unlike those movies which were produced and released by studios, The Power of Love is a potential box office hit accessible to independent distributors.”

“I discovered the strength of their love story and their great humor,” Valerie said of Celine’s relationship with her mother Thérèse. “I better understood how the alchemy of their three individual ambitions made an unwanted, little girl the greatest star on the planet.” 

We’re so there for this!
