James Cameron and Billie Eilish are an unlikely couple, but a new trailer for their upcoming concert film suggests the collaboration was natural.
Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)which hits theaters on May 8, documents Eilish’s sold-out 2025 world tour and was co-directed by Avatar and Titanic filmmaker, 71.
A new trailer released on Monday, April 13 shows the pair side by side in 3D glasses, working together through creative decisions for what promises to be a visually ambitious project.
Cameron sets the tone early in the clip.
“It’s your show. It’s your creative vision,” he tells the 24-year-old singer. “This is going to blow people’s minds.”
Elsewhere in the trailer, as the pair work through the technical demands of the production, Cameron tells her, “We’re going to have to play some games, but we’re going to make it look good.”
Beyond the performance, the film seems to offer something more personal, a window into Eilish’s relationship with her fan base.
The trailer shows her with scratches on her hand from running along the barricade high-fiving concertgoers, and captures her reflecting on shows from a tour bus confessional.
“That one show, to me, just feels like any day at all. I just feel like I have to hang out with my friends,” she says.
Later, asked by Cameron if she loves her fans, she simply replies, “I love them.”
She also shares her ambition in clear terms: “I want to be the artist I want to be a fan of.”
One of the trailer’s lighter touches involves Eilish’s habit of setting up a “puppy room” at each tour stop, a space where crew members can spend time with dogs from local rescue organizations between the demands of the assignment.
Cameron was apparently so taken with the idea that he told Eilish he planned to do the same on his next film.
Eilish shared the trailer on Instagram with the caption: “It’s almost HEREEEE.” The film will be in cinemas on May 8.
