The film, titled\u00a0Billie Eilish \u2013 Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D), is directed by\u00a0James Cameron<\/a> as well as the \u2018Bad Guy\u2019 singer, and is set to hit cinemas on May 8.<\/p>\n

When announcing it last year, she told fans the tour in support of her acclaimed album, \u2018Hit Me Hard And Soft<\/a>\u2018, was one of her favourite ever, and that being able to capture it alongside the Avatar filmmaker was a \u201cdream come true\u201d.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Capital <\/a>at the London premiere of the film, Eilish outlined her ideal cinema etiquette, urging fans to soak in the immersive elements and act as though it were a concert. \u201cI want singing along, I want screaming, I want standing up, I want running around,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m sorry to the theatres.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that she was excited to see her fans react like that because she\u2019s seen them do it after screening albums in theatres. \u201cMy favourite part of that was, I would see these videos, they would all go to the front \u2013 you know, in movie theatres they have that front area? And they would just mosh and like jump around and run around.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several clips circulating on social media show fans at early showings gathered by the screen and dutifully dancing along to the concert film, with many brandishing their phone flashlights as they would at a gig \u2013 check out clips below.<\/p>\n

Seu desejo \u00e9 uma ordem! Ap\u00f3s f\u00e3s come\u00e7arem uma baderna na Early Screening de seu filme, Billie Eilish teve de ser escoltada ao sair da sala de cinema. A cantora simp\u00e1tica e fofa ainda soltou um \u201cEu amo voc\u00eas!\u201d para os trombadinhas. \u2764\ufe0f pic.twitter.com\/i33myzwlCi<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/irmfSqKZW7<\/a><\/p>\n

When Eilish last visited the UK, we reviewed her show and\u00a0gave it five stars<\/a>, calling it \u201canother sublime stint from an eternal star\u201d: \u201cIt\u2019s the perfect example of how Eilish has grown in the last three years and since the start of her career \u2013 always an artist who\u2019s been able to write killer songs, but one who consistently finds a way to level up and tap deeper into universal emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer latest O2 residency may be over now, but next time we see Eilish in London, we bet it\u2019ll be with shows \u2013 and songs \u2013 that take her to even greater heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in March, reports emerged that Eilish could be returning to the big screen, this time making her acting debut in an adaptation of Sylvia Plath\u2019s classic novel The Bell Jar\u00a0helmed by\u00a0Women Talking\u2019s\u00a0Sarah Polley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The singer was reportedly entering into advanced talks to take on the lead role in the project. She previously acted in 2023 TV series Swarm, co-created by Donald Glover.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to say that I hated acting,\u201d Eilish once said in a\u00a0Saturday Night Live\u00a0monologue. \u201cBut the truth is, when I was little I loved it! My mom and dad were both actors. So is my brother, Finneas. And it was my dream to be in a movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, fans attending screenings of the new\u00a0Michael Jackson<\/a> biopic have similarly taken to dancing in the aisles \u2013 a trend that is dividing cinema-goers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
