After captivating audiences in theaters earlier this year, Billie Eilish’s latest concert tour film is now set to captivate streaming audiences.
Titled “Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour,” this electrifying film debuted on Paramount+ today, August 6, and is available for all subscribers to enjoy.
The concert film features a lineup of Eilish’s most popular songs, including chart-toppers like “Bad Guy,” the evocative “Birds of a Feather,” “Chihiro,” and her Oscar-winning hit for the “Barbie” soundtrack, “What Was I Made For?”
Joining forces in the director’s seat, Eilish co-directed the live performance recording with none other than James Cameron, renowned for directing three of the top-four highest-grossing films ever: “Avatar,” its sequel released in 2022, and the iconic “Titanic” from 1997.
Filmed over four spectacular nights in Manchester, England, the project was the subject of Eilish’s on-stage musings, as she hinted at the recording during one of the live shows.
“So you may have noticed that there are more cameras than usual in here,” she said. “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.”
On a January episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, Cameron further explained how the project came together.
“[Eilish] thought it was a cool idea, and so I offered her co-directing with me because she’s the architect of that show,” he explained. “If you see that show, it’s astonishing. It’s so beautiful, and it’s such a great platform for her, and I wanted to shoot it in 3D. I just thought it’d be fun.”
