\n\tBillie Eilish<\/a>\u2018s Hit Me Hard and Soft concert film will arrive in theaters two months later than expected. The release has been rescheduled from March 20 to May 8, co-director James Cameron<\/a> shared on Threads. \u201cWe\u2019re refining the cut; dialing in cool, new 3D tech; adding some special behind-the-scenes we know you\u2019ll love,\u201d Cameron wrote, adding it will be \u201cWorth the wait!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) <\/a>was captured during Eilish\u2019s four-night stretch of shows in Manchester in July 2025. The musician teased the project onstage, keeping details spare but telling the audience, \u201cI can\u2019t say much about it. But what I can say is that I\u2019m working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it\u2019s going to be in 3D. So, take that as you will, and these four shows here in Manchester, you and me, are part of a thing that I am making with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen they were able to share more, new details supported the ambition of the project. \u201cWe\u2019re using tech that\u2019s never been used before,\u201d Cameron said in the official film trailer. \u201cNo one\u2019s shot a concert film on this scale before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn October, Eilish told WSJ Magazine,<\/a> \u201cI\u2019m really excited for all of it, and I\u2019m so excited for the fans to experience this 3D situation that we\u2019re working on. It\u2019s nothing I\u2019ve ever done, and I haven\u2019t seen anything really like it, and I\u2019m just kind of blown away at every step of the process. He spends the entire show [framing the show] in front of all of the screens, and he just never quits. He never yawns, and he\u2019s so respectful of what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen speaking about the film in an interview with ET<\/a>, Cameron was quick to redirect praise to Eilish. \u201cIt was just so much fun, I mean, she is such a wonderful artist, she\u2019s so talented, and she and I are directing that together, so we will be in the cutting room together,\u201d he said. \u201cI figured she created the show; she was the architect of one of the most amazing live shows I have ever seen. She earned her director props already.\u201d<\/p>\n
