Billie Eilish teamed up with legendary filmmaker James Cameron to create the concert film of a generation.
The pair joined their directorial genius to create Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D), an immersive experience of Billie's most recent tour, which will be enjoyed by fans in cinemas around the world.
To ensure the 3D experience matched - and in someways even exceeded - being at the concert IRL, James and his team actually invented two new cameras for the movie. So with expert videography and Billie's electric performance, how does one sit still in the cinema and enjoy it? Trick question - they don't!
Speaking to Capital, from the London premiere of Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D), Billie told us she wants fans singing, "screaming" and NOT sitting still in movie theatres this May.

"[I want] literally like the opposite of what you might think," she started to say. "I want singing along, I want screaming, I want standing up, I want running around. I'm sorry to the theatres."
She explained that she was "so excited" to see her fans react like that because she's seen them do it before.
"In the past, like when I put my album out, I had the music play in theatres - just the music - and my favourite part of that was like, I would see these videos, they would all go to the front - you know, in movie theatres they have that front area? And they would just mosh and like jump around and run around," she said.
She ended by saying: "So no sitting still. I mean, you can... but don't worry if you don't. Don't feel bad, that's good, we approve."
Directed by James Cameron and Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) will be out in cinemas May 8, 2026.
