The romantic comedy “Love Again: a little, a lot, passionately” with Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Sam Heughan and Céline Dion will be released this Wednesday, June 7 in our theaters and will delight the singer’s fans.
While Celine Dion has once again postponed the dates of her tour due to her state of health, the singer is on view this Wednesday from Love Again: a little, a lot, passionately. The feature film is adapted from the novel by Sofie Cramer, Love at first sight by SMS, which has already spawned a film in Germany.
In this romantic comedy, the interpreter of All By Myself stars as himself and co-stars Citadel star Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie in the Outlander series.
The romantic duo is also surrounded by Nick Jonas, in the role of a handsome kid addicted to dating apps, Russell Tovey and Lydia West, who reunite 4 years after the series Years and Years, as well as Sofia Barclay (Ted Lasso).
Directed by Jim Strouse (Grace is Gone), the feature film follows Mira, a writer and illustrator of children’s books who is trying to come to terms with the death of her fiancé.
The latter sends a series of romantic messages to the phone number of her late love without realizing that the number has been reassigned to Rob Burns.
Music journalist, Rob is captivated by the sincerity of these epistolary confessions. When he’s given the job of writing the likeness of mega star Celine Dion, he enlists her help in figuring out how to meet Mira face-to-face…and win her heart.

The confidences of Celine Dion
Celine Dion therefore plays the role of the hero’s romantic advisor who will gradually better understand the lyrics of the star’s love songs. Because, like Last Christmas, whose story revolved around the songs of George Michael, Love Again covers the greatest hits in English by Celine Dion. The singer also talks about her love story with her husband René.
But the film is also punctuated by new songs written especially for the film, such as love again And I’ll be.
Producer Esther Hornstein explains that the presence of Celine Dion is not limited to her role as an actress since the film is a kind of tribute to the singer and her songs.
“Jim Strouse wrote an incredible character for Celine, the matchmaker par excellence. Not just for romance, but also for soul and philosophy. She is a character who is also very faithful to who Céline really is”.
She adds : “It was a very fun shoot. We were playing one of his songs for a scene, and then all day we were sitting in front of the monitors listening and singing Celine.
During a scene, the character of Sam is in the shower and he sings It’s All Coming Back to Me Now. When Sam came off the set, he was still singing! It was like a party where we sang all day.”
First movie scene for Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra
If Celine fans will be delighted by the film, those of the Jonas Brothers will not be left out since Nick Jonashusband to the city of Priyanka Chopra, makes a cameo in the film.
The actress says about it in the press kit: “We have already done a few things before (Editor’s note: in particular the clip of the Jonas Brothers What a man gotta do), but never a full movie scene. It was a great new experience for us.”

Especially since the character played by Nick Jonas seems far removed from the singer. Obsessed with bodybuilding and addicted to dating apps, the suitor is quickly rejected by Mira, in favor of Rob played by Sam Heughan.
First romantic comedy for Sam Heughan
The Scottish comedian, famous for playing Jamie in the Outlander series, has appeared in many series and films, but this is the first time he has played the main role in a romantic comedy.
And to prepare for his role, Sam Heughan has caught up in romantic comedies, a film genre that did not particularly appeal to him at first.

He explains in the press kit:I watched a lot of romantic comedies that I had avoided over the years because I thought they weren’t for me. But as soon as I started, I was seduced. It’s funny, sometimes dark and often brilliant and I think this film is a tribute to this genre.“.
“It was a fun film to prepare because my character is quite cynical. Rob is a somewhat snobbish music critic not really a fan of Celine Dion but who will be seduced by her music.
At first, he only hears these songs on the surface. He thinks they are too embellished, too romantic. But it turns out there’s some truth in the lyrics. These songs really move him when he opens his heart. It’s a nice trip to do with the character.e” he concludes.
You would have understood it, love again is therefore not only for fans of Celine Dion… The feature film is to be discovered today at the cinema.
