Trailer released for the film based on Céline Dion (VIDEO)

Céline Dion’s heart is about to “go on” — to the big screen.

The first trailer for Aline (or The Power of Love in English), has dropped and it stars French filmmaker Valérie Lemercier as Aline Dieu, the film’s version of Céline Dion.

The biopic will chronicle Dion’s life from her birth and modest upbringing in Quebec in the late 1960s, to her extraordinary rise to fame, her relationships with her family, manager and late husband René Angélil, and her Las Vegas residency, according to IMDB.

The film follows the trend of celebrity singer flicks, following the smash hit Bohemian Rhapsody and the Elton John film, Rocket Man.

The biopic is directed by Lemercier and stars Jérôme Commandeur as the late René Angelil, Martine Fontaine, Caroline Rabaliatti, and Véronique Baylaucq.
