Billie Eilish is no stranger to an audience, but now, she'll be able to reach a far bigger one than ever, with news of her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour being immortalised into a concert film.
It's actually been in the works for a while, with Eilish announcing that the film's director, Oscar-winner James Cameron, was in the audience at her Manchester show back in July. So, what have the duo been cooking up? Everything you need to know about this movie-music hybrid (which, yes, is in 3D), below.

What is Billie Eilish's film with James Cameron about?
Details have bene kept under wraps until recently, with Eilish taking to Instagram to break her silence on the project.
”This is one of my favourite tours everrrrrr and being able to capture it and co-direct this film with [James Cameron] has truly been a dream come true,” she wrote to her followers. “Can’t wait for you all to see it.”
Speaking to the audience during a performance for the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour in Manchester, Eilish also spilled a few details, saying, “So, you may have noticed there’s more cameras than usual up here. Basically, I can’t say much about it, but what I can say is I’m working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it’s going to be in 3D.”
She continued, “So, take that as you will, and these four shows her in Manchester, you and me, are part of a thing that I’m making with James.”
If Cameron's previous works are anything to go by, expect this to be a considerably bigger production than your usual concert film. ICYMI, Cameron is best known for the Avatar films, as well as Titanic, and The Terminator (among other things).
As for Eilish, it's not the first time we've seen her talents translated to film. In 2021, she released her deeply personal documentary, The World's A Little Blurry, with Apple TV+. And the same year, the BBC released a 45-minute interview with the singer titled Billie Eilish: Up Close, which charted things like growing up in the spotlight, and confronting internet trolls.
When will it come out?
The film will hit theatres on March 20, 2026.
Perhaps it could be a nice prelude to the (hopeful) release of BE4 next year? Only time will tell...
