Billie Eilish is no stranger to a celebrity or two in the audience at her concerts. But the latest Hollywood heavyweight to attend one of her shows was there for more than just the music. Performing in Manchester recently, the artist announced that James Cameron was present, and that the duo had what we'd guess is a concert film in the works. Even better, it's going to be in 3D. Here's what we know so far.
What is Billie Eilish's film with James Cameron about?
As you can probably imagine, details are being kept under (incredibly) tight wraps. Speaking to the audience during a performance for the Hit Me Hard and Soft tour in Manchester, Eilish said coyly, “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?
Given there's likely a high level of production involved in this, we don't expect the film to hit screens until 2026 at the earliest.
Perhaps it could be a nice prelude to the (hopeful) release of BE4 next year? Only time will tell...
