Billie Eilish says she's working with James Cameron on some sort of 3D concert thing
Noting (per Deadline) that Cameron was apparently somewhere in the audience for the show, Eilish said she couldn't reveal exact details about the project, but that it would involve the four-show run she's currently doing in the U.K. city, as part of Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour.
The obvious assumption here, of course, is a concert film: Eilish did one for her second studio album, Happier Than Ever, back in 2021, tapping director Robert Rodriguez and Oscar-winner Patrick Osborne for a film that blended live-action and animation. She wouldn't be the first major artist to do a concert film in 3D, either—U2, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and many others have pulled the trick. But getting Cameron on board would certainly lend the project some clout, and possibly some technical spark.
The big question mark here, obviously, is the man himself; he's never done a concert film, and if he's a big fan of Eilish's work, we can't find any interviews to that effect. (The pair have never worked together professionally, possibly because Eilish doesn't sing in Na'vi.) A full concert film would also run into the fact that Cameron is insanely busy, what with all those Avatars he's still in the process of making (Fire And Ash! Out December 19!) as well as the Hiroshima movie he keeps reminding people he's going to film. If someone was going to do something insanely technically complicated in terms of realizing a concert film, though we certainly wouldn't put it past the man. (We haven't been to this tour; does Eilish go very deep under the water at any point?) But for now, it's not clear what exactly she and Cameron are cooking up together, or on what scale.

Want to Hear More of Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor Singing? Us, Too
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Paul Mescal is sitting in bed looking sad and gorgeous again. That seems to be a recurring theme throughout a number of the movie star's most famous projects (think: Aftersun, Normal People, and All of Us Strangers), but his upcoming film, The History of Sound, deserves particular attention for connecting him with yet another infamously scruffy romantic lead: Josh O'Connor, beloved for his roles in Challengers, La Chimera, and The Crown. In The History of Sound, adapted from author Ben Shattuck's short story of the same name, Mescal and O'Connor play Lionel and David, both folk music aficionados, who meet in 1917 at the Boston Conservatory. After World War I, they reunite in 1920 to travel through Maine, collecting and preserving traditional folk songs—and embarking on a love affair along the way. The film first premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this spring, and ELLE's critic proclaimed the period piece 'quietly epic' and 'a masterclass in tender restraint.' Here's what we know about the project so far. Alongside Mescal and O'Connor, the film stars Molly Price, Alison Bartlett, and Chris Cooper, per Deadline—though it seems primarily intended as a star vehicle for its charismatic male leads. Oliver Hermanus (Living) directed The History of Sound, with cinematography by Alexander Dynan and the screenplay by Shattuck himself. After its Cannes debut, Mubi bought North American distribution rights, and Focus Features snagged international. In the U.S., The History of Sound will land in theaters on September 12, 2025, with a likely MUBI streaming release to follow. Yes—and it features both O'Connor and Mescal singing. It'll be well worth the price of a ticket just to hear more. This story will be updated.

Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny make honey-filled 'Happy Gilmore 2' appearance
Editor's note: Some minor "Happy Gilmore 2" spoilers below. Sometimes going to your happy place makes all the difference. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been a superstar and a fan favorite on the NFL field. He may become a Hollywood villain off of it. Kelce made an appearance in Adam Sandler-led golf comedy flick "Happy Gilmore 2" as a restaurant manager who is something of a bully to his subordinate Oscar, played by singer and entertainer Bad Bunny. Kelce is in a pair of scenes in the movie, but the more notable one features Bad Bunny's character "Oscar" going to his happy place, in which he slathers honey over a half-naked Kelce, who is tied to a post. Kelce is then left to be devoured by a bear in the fantasy sequence. Earlier, Kelce chest-bumps Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa through a restaurant table. "I thought he was tremendous, and could totally be a superstar in acting," star Sandler said about Kelce in a recent interview. The movie also features cameos by some of golf's biggest stars, past and present, including Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris. As far as Netflix producing another comedy hit? Well, Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
