James Cameron and Billie Eilish Co-Direct 3D Concert Epic for the Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour

James Cameron is still up to his eyeballs in Pandora, but the guy cannot help himself. He keeps sneaking in side quests between Avatar mixes — and the latest one is a curveball: a 3D Billie Eilish concert film he co-directed with Eilish herself.

Billie Eilish: The Tour, but in 3D and with James Cameron calling shots

At the final stop of her sold-out Hit Me Hard and Soft tour in San Francisco, Eilish told the crowd that a concert movie is coming to theaters worldwide on March 20, 2026. It was filmed during the tour and, yes, it will be in 3D — because if Cameron is involved, you are absolutely wearing glasses.

Paramount is releasing it in partnership with Darkroom Records, Interscope Films, and Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment. The studio’s materials even credit Cameron as 'Avatar: Fire and Ash,' which is a fun little credit flex if you’ve been tracking the upcoming sequels.

Eilish also posted a behind-the-scenes photo of her and Cameron reviewing footage and said co-directing this one has been a dream, calling this run one of her favorite tours. For anyone keeping score, she is a two-time Oscar winner and nine-time Grammy winner, and one of the most-streamed artists on the planet — so yes, this is a big swing.

Cameron’s other side hustles: WWII ghosts and grimdark demons

Even while stacking Avatar sequels, Cameron’s been lining up non-Na’vi projects. He wants to adapt the World War II drama Ghosts of Hiroshima, and he recently bought the rights to Joe Abercrombie’s fantasy novel The Devils. He did not undersell it either, calling the book 'nuts' and 'off its tits,' and admitting he was reading passages out loud to his wife, Suzy, before deciding, basically: I love this too much not to own it.

Alita 2 is not dead — and maybe 3 is on the board

On the sci-fi front, he is still talking about more Alita: Battle Angel with Robert Rodriguez. The update is surprisingly concrete, especially given his schedule:

'I appreciate the loyalty of the Alita fans. Robert Rodriguez and I have sworn a blood oath to do at least one more Alita movie. In fact, we’re thinking of an architecture that bridges to a third film, but we’ll be satisfied if we can make one more. And we’re making progress on that. Now that I have a home in Austin, Texas, about three miles from [Robert’s] place, I think we’ll probably get more serious about that as soon as I wrap the Avatar mix here in a few weeks.'

So: 3D Billie in 2026, Avatar mixes wrapping 'in a few weeks,' a WWII drama in the chamber, a wild Abercrombie adaptation brewing, and Alita fans getting a real signal flare. Extremely on-brand for Cameron — way too many plates spinning, somehow all still spinning.
