Billie Eilish's concert documentary, a collaboration with none other than James Cameron, is headed to the big screens. The singer excitedly announced on Instagram Sunday night that the film, titled "HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D)," will be released in theaters on March 20th, 2026, via Paramount Pictures. The 3D concert doc was produced in partnership with Darkroom Records, Interscope Films, and Lightstorm Entertainment.
Eilish shared a photo of herself with Cameron alongside the announcement, writing, "This has been one of my favorite tours everrrrrr and being able to capture it and co-direct this film with @jamescameronofficial has truly been a dream come true. Can't wait for you all to see it :’)."
The project was first teased by Eilish over the summer during a sold-out concert in Manchester, England. She couldn't reveal much beyond the fact that it was a 3D collaboration with the Oscar-winning director, teasing the audience with the presence of more cameras than usual and hinting at a very special project in the works. "Basically, I can't say much about it, but what I can say is that I'm working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it's going to be in 3D," she said at the time. "So, take that as you will and these four shows here in Manchester, you and me are part of a thing that I am making with him."
Eilish's previous documentaries include "Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry," directed by R.J. Cutler, and the concert movie "Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles." She wrapped up her "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour on Sunday night in San Francisco.
Cameron, the director behind films such as "Titanic" and the "Terminator" franchise, is currently preparing for the release of the third installment of his "Avatar" franchise, "Avatar: Fire and Ash," which hits theaters on December 19th.
