Another pending project for Celine Dion.
The release of the film
Love Again
, in which the star plays, may be postponed due to his health problems.
According to Closer magazine, the 54-year-old singer would be
"unfit to appear in public, and therefore, to promote the film"
.
In a moving video posted on her Instagram account on December 8, Celine Dion already announced the postponement of
Courage
, her first world tour in 10 years, scheduled for 2023.
“As you know, I have always been an open book, but until now i was not ready to talk about what i had to go through.
I have had health issues for a long time, and it's not easy for me to deal with them,”
she told her 5.5 million followers.
The Quebec star was
“recently”
diagnosed
“with a very rare neurological disorder called
stiff-person syndrome
”
.
This pathology, in French stiff man syndrome, causes the rigidity of certain muscles as well as numerous painful spasms.
It affects on average “one person in a million”.
Following the singer's announcements, Sony studios are considering postponing the release of Jim Strouse's new film, originally scheduled for May 12, 2023.
Love Again
tells the story of Mira Ray (Priyanka Chopra), a young woman who continues to write messages of love to her tragically deceased husband.
But the phone number having been reassigned, it is the journalist Rob Burns (Sam Heughan) who receives them.
Touched and intrigued, the latter then seeks to find the person who hides behind these SMS.
To do this, he asks for help from Céline Dion, whose portrait he is responsible for writing.
The romantic comedy is inspired by the German film
Love at first sight by SMS
, released in 2016, itself inspired by a novel of the same name by Sofie Cramer.
With this new adaptation, the interpreter of
My Heart Will Go On
lands his first real role in the cinema.
In a post published on Twitter in November, Celine Dion also announced that she had recorded
“new music”
for the occasion.
