The pop superstar and the legendary filmmaker unite for a first-of-its-kind 3D concert film set to hit theaters in 2026.
November 24, 2025- Billie Eilish is taking her live show to cinematic heights with a brand-new 3D concert film co-directed by none other than James Cameron. The singer announced the project during the first night of her Manchester tour stop, revealing that multiple shows were being filmed with an extensive camera setup for something “very, very special.”
A Major Artistic Collaboration
This unexpected partnership brings together two powerhouses from different worlds: Billie Eilish, one of the biggest music artists of her generation, and James Cameron, the visionary behind Avatar and a pioneer in 3D filmmaking. Cameron was spotted in the audience during the Manchester shows, overseeing the recording process and ensuring the technology captured every detail of the performance.
The project is officially titled Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D), and marks a rare blend of cutting-edge cinema with modern pop performance. By merging Cameron’s filmmaking expertise with Billie’s distinctive artistic identity, the film promises to deliver a concert experience unlike anything seen before.
What Fans Can Expect
The film is expected to be more than just a typical concert recording. Billie hinted that the 3D production will allow fans to feel fully immersed in the live atmosphere — as if they’re right there in the front row. The multi-camera setup used during the Manchester concerts is said to capture every moment with precision, elevating her performance into a full-scale cinematic event.
Billie also shared that the project is special to her on a personal level. As an artist who rarely gets to watch her own shows from an audience perspective, the film gives her the chance to relive the experience with her fans.
Official Release Plans
The 3D concert film will be released in theaters on March 20, 2026, distributed by Paramount Pictures in collaboration with Darkroom Records, Interscope Films, and Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment. While the full global rollout schedule hasn’t been revealed yet, anticipation is already building among fans and industry watchers.
A New Era of Concert Filmmaking
With live music experiences evolving rapidly, this project could redefine how artists bring their tours to global audiences. By joining forces with James Cameron — known for pushing the boundaries of immersive technology — Billie Eilish is setting the stage for a groundbreaking moment in music and film.
More updates are expected in the coming months as the team prepares for its theatrical debut.
