Diane Warren and Celine Dion Reteaming for ‘Song for Marion’
Variety is reporting that songwriter Diane Warren has teamed up again with Celine Dion for an original song written for the comedy drama Song for Marion. The song Unfinished Songs with music and lyrics by Warren and performed by Dion is playing over the film’s end credits. Warren has previously been nominated for six Academy Awards for her work for film, including for the song Because You Loved Me from 1996’s Up Close and Personal, which was also performed by Dion. Unfinished Songs is already considered a strong contender to get a nomination at next year’s award ceremony, especially given the Academy’s recent rule change that guarantees five nominations in the Best Original Song category.
