Billie Eilish has released the first trailer for her concert film 'Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour,' co-directed with James Cameron. The 3D movie, capturing her massive world tour, arrives in theaters on March 20, 2026, via Paramount Pictures. Cameron highlights innovative technology used in the production.
Trailer Highlights
The trailer showcases electrifying concert footage from Eilish's 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour, interspersed with behind-the-scenes moments. It opens with Eilish spotting fans camping outside a venue, tapping on the window to surprise them and drawing excited screams. Director James Cameron appears, stating, “No one’s shot a concert film on this scale before,” and adding, “We’re using tech that’s never been used before.”
Tour and Film Background
The film documents Eilish's 106-show tour across four continents, which began in September 2024 and concluded last month in San Francisco. This marked her first major tour without brother and collaborator Finneas O'Connell. In an emotional trailer segment, Eilish reads a note from Finneas: “It’s been the joy of my life to travel the world with you three times over and watch you hold every person who comes to your shows in the palm of your hand. Good luck tonight but you don’t need it, no one does it like you do.” The tour supported her 2024 album 'Hit Me Hard and Soft.'
Announcement and Tease
Eilish first teased the project in July during Manchester shows, telling the crowd, “I’m working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it’s going to be in 3D.” She confirmed the film's details last month at the tour's final performance. On Instagram, Eilish shared, “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.” The collaboration aims to redefine concert films with unprecedented scale and 3D immersion.
