Lemercier, known for her works in Palais Royal! and 50 Is the New 30, said that she started following Dion’s works after the untimely demise of her husband. “I discovered the strength of their love story and their great humour, and I better understood how the alchemy of their three individual ambitions made an unwanted, little girl the greatest star on the planet,” Lemercier told the daily. Cecile Gaget from Gaumont told the publication that The Power of Love will be “in the vein of Elton John’s Rocket Man and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury’s Bohemian Rhapsody". The shooting of The Power of Love will begin in March and will continue for 18 weeks across France, Spain, Canada and Las Vegas.
