Sony Music Entertainment’s Premium Content Division began production on an untitled new feature documentary about the five-time Grammy-winning artist Celine Dion, who has sold more than 250 million records over a 40-year career.
The French Canadian singer gave her blessing to the new documentary.
“I’ve always been an open book with my fans and with [Tayler’s] 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.” said Dion in a statement on Tuesday.
The new feature will be directed by Vermillion’s lead creative player, Irene Taylor, whose first feature documentary, "Hear and Now", won both a Peabody and the Audience Award at Sundance in 2007. Her doc short "The Final Inch" (2009), was nominated for an Oscar.
The as-yet-untitled feature will arrive in partnership with SME Canada and Vermilion Films.
The announcement comes just a day after “Aline Dieu”, a feature biopic loosely based on her life, found a home in the U.S. with Roadside Attractions and Samuel Goldwyn Films, after selling out globally for French sales company Gaumont.
