Billie Eilish is pushing the boundaries of concert filmmaking in the newly released trailer for HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D), arriving March 20 from Paramount, Darkroom Records, Interscope Films, and Lightstorm Entertainment. Co-directed by Eilish and legendary filmmaker James Cameron, the project promises to reinvent the concert film experience through groundbreaking 3D technology.
A Technological Leap Led by James Cameron
Cameron, known for transforming cinematic immersion with Avatar and Titanic, appears throughout the trailer highlighting the scale and ambition of the project. “We’re using tech that’s never been used before,” he says. “No one’s shot a concert film on this scale before.”
The documentary captures Eilish’s 2025 world tour using an unprecedented multi-camera 3D setup. Fans first learned about the project during her four-night run in Manchester, England, where she teased the presence of “more cameras than usual” and joked about wearing the same outfit across several shows for continuity.
An Intimate Look at Touring Without Finneas
The trailer also explores personal moments from Eilish’s time on the road, including her emotional experience performing without her brother and longtime collaborator Finneas for the first time. One particularly touching scene shows Eilish reading a handwritten note from him, expressing pride in their shared journey across multiple world tours.
Finneas later surprises her onstage in Manchester, delivering one of the documentary’s most heartfelt moments. His brief return underscores the deep creative bond that has shaped Eilish’s rise since her debut.
Cameron Captures the Human Side of Stardom
Beyond the spectacle of the 3D production, the trailer highlights Eilish’s candid, vulnerable side. Viewers see her manage tour stress with the help of puppies, prompting Cameron to joke, “I’m doing this on my next movie for sure.”
The documentary aims to balance massive concert energy with quiet emotional beats—an approach that mirrors Cameron’s signature style of pairing technical innovation with human storytelling.
Grammy Spotlight Adds Momentum
The release of the trailer arrives at a major moment in Eilish’s career. Her hit song “Wildflower” is nominated for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the upcoming Grammy Awards on February 2. The nominations continue Eilish’s streak as one of the most decorated young artists of her generation.
As anticipation builds, the 3D project positions her to break new ground in music cinema, merging her raw performance style with Cameron’s genre-defining filmmaking expertise.
What Fans Can Expect on March 20
When HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR (LIVE IN 3D) premieres, viewers can expect a visually stunning, emotionally rich concert experience unlike any previously captured on film. With advanced 3D cinematography, candid behind-the-scenes footage, and Cameron’s visionary influence, the documentary stands poised to redefine how live music is brought to the screen.
