’Hit Me Hard And Soft’ by California singer-songwriter, Billie Eilish is one of the most popular albums released in the past two years. The show stopping single, ‘Birds of a feather’ has amounted to over 3 billion streams on Eilish’s Spotify alone.
A widely successful album led to an even more successful tour (if possible). The tour occurred between September 2024 and concluded November 2025. In Sydney, the notorious tour reset the record for the most attendees at a single concert event. This record was previously held by none other than Justin Timberlake at 20,839 attendees however Eilish’s record breaking show racked up a staggering 21,001 attendees. The tour spanned 106 shows over six continents and not a single dry eye was in the audience at each show.
Don’t fret! if you were unable to attend the full stage production in person, it is now set to come to the big screen, directed by none over than James Cameron and Eilish herself. The Oscar winning director has worked on some of the most celebrated films of all time including Titanic and Avatar.
Eilish released the trailer for ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)’ and the trailer alone has some spectacular shots. The film is set to redefine concert recordings with new cutting-edge technology that’s never before been used to capture the true concert experiences. This goes beyond typical concert recordings, with a narrative pull, song performances and emotional tugs, for Billie Eilish fans it is worth the cinema trip.
“No one’s shot a concert film on this scale before” states Cameron in a clip used in the trailer. This is guaranteed to be a blockbuster of a tour film, especially in the hands of such a trustworthy, fabled director.
The trailer shared some exclusive scenes to build excitement. Eilish can be seen interacting with hardcore fans camping out for her shows, clips are used from her dramatic, lively onstage performances, her loving family are seen cheering her on particularly her brother Finneas. Eilish’s brother has had a huge hand in her stardom, and she shares her vulnerability at the fact this is her first tour without him by her side all the way.
A keen eye for creative work behind the lens, Eilish is no stranger to directing. She has famously directed a large bulk of her music videos and always performs her own stunts. Wether that be placing live spiders in her mouth, diving underwater for the perfect shot or rapidly rotating in a chair, she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty for the soul of her ambition.
A deep dive into both the psychological and physical toll that a tour this extreme can have on an individual, it will be interesting to peel back the curtain and take a look into what this truly does to someone’s mind.
The film is set to hit global theatres on March 20 2026 and will take fans along the wild ride of the Hit Me Hard And Soft tour.
