Billie Eilish attending the Vanity Fair Oscar Party<\/p>\nSinger Billie Eilish has said her new concert film came about after award-winning director James Cameron emailed her mother to suggest the idea.<\/p>\n
The 3D film, Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour, was released earlier this week, and saw Eilish direct and produce the project alongside Cameron, known for blockbusters including Avatar and Titanic.<\/p>\n
In a radio interview with Capital Breakfast, Eilish was asked whose idea the movie was.<\/p>\n
She told presenter Jordan North: \u201cIt was James Cameron\u2019s idea. He literally came to my mum. I had no plans to make any kind of film of the tour.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then my mum was at my house one day, after I\u2019d already been on tour for like a year, and she goes \u2018Billie I got an email from James Cameron.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, then we just got on the phone and talked about it and I can\u2019t even believe that that happened and now it\u2019s done, and here it is.\u201d<\/p>\n
The American singer, known for hits including Ocean Eyes and Bad Guy, said she loved the thought that the movie meant her latest headlining tour would \u201clive on forever\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI get to have this forever and the fans get to have it,\u201d she told Capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty cool that it\u2019s going to exist forever for me to watch.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I think what\u2019s really special about it being 3D is feeling like we\u2019re right there.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a really special tour and a show that I felt really proud of and I\u2019m really grateful and excited for it to live on forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eilish also spoke of joining Justin Bieber on stage at last month\u2019s Coachella festival in California, which she said was only suggested to her moments beforehand.<\/p>\n
She described the moment as a \u201clife-changing dream\u201d, adding that she was so overcome with emotion that \u201cmy legs gave out\u201d.<\/p>\n
She told North: \u201cI can\u2019t actually believe that I lived it. I can\u2019t even think about it. I can\u2019t even talk about it. I can\u2019t even look at the videos, it\u2019s too intense for me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Singer Billie Eilish has said her new concert film came about after award-winning director James Cameron emailed her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":426876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-426875","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=426875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/426875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/426876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=426875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=426875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
