Billie Eilish says unexpected email sparked new concert film

  • Billie Eilish's new concert film, Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour, originated from an unexpected email sent by acclaimed director James Cameron to her mother, proposing the idea.
  • Eilish, who initially had no plans for a tour film, co-directed and produced the 3D cinematic experience alongside Cameron, the visionary behind blockbusters such as Avatar and Titanic.
  • The American artist expressed her delight that the film, which was released earlier this week, will ensure her latest headlining tour 'lives on forever' for both herself and her fans, emphasising the immersive quality of the 3D production.
  • Beyond the film, Eilish also recounted her impromptu appearance with Justin Bieber at last month’s Coachella festival in California, an opportunity presented just moments before she went on stage.
