Everything We Know About Billie Eilish's New 3D Project With James Cameron
Here's everything we know about the experimental concert film so far.
The film is being recorded during Eilish's Manchester concerts from her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, which she launched for her third studio album. On July 19, she told the excited audience, 'So, you may have noticed there's more cameras than usual up here. Basically, I can't say much about it, but what I can say is I'm working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it's going to be in 3D.'
Eilish continued, 'So, take that as you will, and these four shows her in Manchester, you and me, are part of a thing that I'm making with James.'
Eilish has three more shows planned in Manchester following the announcement, on July 20, 22, and 23. Her next shows are set for Dublin on July 26 and 27, but it sounds like Cameron may not be recording them. If that's it for filming, the release likely depends on post-production.
Eilish has not shared anymore information about how she and the Titanic director connected over this project. In 2023, Eilish shared a bit about her collaboration process when talking to IndieWire, specifically about her work with brother Finneas O'Connell.
'Every time we do anything in another world, it's just very inspiring in so many ways, like, 'Damn, what could we do? What could we make happen?' she said. 'It feels like training in a way. It feels like we're working on a muscle that we really want to be bulky.'
The Hit Me Hard and Soft tour started in October 2024 and concludes in November 2025. The European leg ends this month and then Eilish will be heading to Japan in August. She returns to the United States in October, finishing up in California.

60 Pop Culture Photos That You Probably Have Never Seen
Titanic was originally supposed to open in the summer of 1997, but the movie went over schedule and was delayed until December of '97. This advance poster, which was created for its summer release date, marketed the film more in the style of an action summer blockbuster: James Cameron had a 2/3 scale of the Titanic built for the movie in Mexico. These images show just how huge the ship set was: Coincidentally, CBS aired a two-part made-for-TV movie titled Titanic a little bit over a year earlier, in November of '96. The movie starred a then-unknown Catherine Zeta-Jones, Tim Curry, Peter Gallagher, George Scott, and Marilu Henner as Molly Brown: Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of Dave Prowse in the Darth Vader costume, trying to cool off during the filming of Star Wars: A New Hope: The very first Star Wars spoof was on the Season 3 premiere of the Donny & Marie show in September of 1977 (the film, which opened in May, was still the No. 1 movie in theaters then, and Star Wars mania was in full swing). It featured Donny and Marie as Luke and Leia, Kris Kirstofferson as Han Solo, and Redd Foxx as Obi-Wan Kenobi, and featured dancing Stormtroopers, cheesy jokes, and Chewie hugging Darth Vader: The spoof was made with the approval of George Lucas, who allowed the show to use the original Stormtrooper and Darth Vader costumes. Along with the authentic costumes and props (including the actual R2-D2 used in the movie), Anthony Daniels played C-3PO, and Peter Mayhew played Chewbacca: Revenge of the Jedi was the original working title of Return of the Jedi, the change in the name was so last-minute that a (now rare) pre-release poster and teaser trailer for the movie both had the title Revenge of the Jedi in it: By all accounts, George Lucas always wanted to call the film Return of the Jedi, but the film's co-writer, Lawrence Kasdan, felt that "Return" was "too weak" and thought "Revenge" sounded better. Lucas changed the name close to the film's release because he thought that revenge was out of character for the Jedi. These are a couple of photos of Sarah Jessica Parker filming the very first episode of Sex and the City in June of 1997: Here's a promotional photo taken of Jonathan Taylor Thomas while he was recording the speaking voice of Young Simba for The Lion King: Gone With the Wind is a classic and considered one of the greatest films of all time. The film also did a lot of firsts, including being the first color movie to win the Best Picture Oscar and having the first Black actor to be nominated and win an Oscar — which was Hattie McDaniel for Best Supporting Actress. However, one first you might not know is that it was the first film to have its premiere televised (and yes, TVs existed back in the '30s, but they were EXTREMELY rare). Gone With the Wind's New York premiere was televised, and below is a photo from the premiere announcing it: The development of television was delayed because of WWII. Speaking of firsts, in 1939, Franklin D. Roosevelt became the first US president to appear on TV — FDR gave a speech to open the 1939 World's Fair in New York, which was televised. It also wouldn't be the only time he appeared on TV: The original opening credits for I Love Lucy throughout its run were actually animated. They were changed to the classic satin and heart credits when the show was syndicated (put into reruns), as the animated credits wouldn't work because they incorporated whichever brand was sponsoring that week's episode: The very first issue of TV Guide, released on April 3, 1953, featured Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's newborn son, Desi Arnaz Jr., on the cover: In 1977, 26 years after first costarring together on I Love Lucy, Vivian Vance and Lucille Ball would costar together one last time in the TV special Lucy Calls The President: Lucille and Vivian became friends and first costarred together when Truman was president — and their deep friendship and working relationship would span over seven presidents. Before Kermit the Frog became famous as the leader of The Muppets, he was actually well-known for his drag act! He went by "Kermina" and performed a lipsync-comedy act to Rosemary Clooney's "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face." Here's a screenshot of him performing it on The Steve Allen Show in 1956: And here is a screenshot of Kermit performing the lipsync-comedy act on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967: Here is a rare color photo of Coco Chanel at her 1958 Chanel Spring-Summer collection show: This is what the set of the Petries' living room on The Dick Van Dyke Show looked like in color: The iconic Hollywood sign was actually built in 1923 to advertise the Hollywoodland real estate development in the hills below it. The sign was originally only supposed to be up for 18 months, but it became a visual symbol of Los Angeles. Throughout most of the Golden Age of Hollywood the Hollywood sign read "Hollywoodland," with the "land" part only being removed in 1949: If you look at this photo of Hollywood (looking up Vine St.) from 1949, you can see that the sign still spells out "Hollywoodland" in the distance: In 1992, a seductive 75-foot cartoon cutout of the character of Holli Would from the movie Cool World was placed on top of the "D" in the Hollywood sign as part of the publicity stunt for the film. People who lived in the area were not happy: The movie was an adult animated/live-action film, in the vein of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and starred Brad Pitt and Kim Basinger as Holli Would: This is what the Bayside High set from Saved by the Bell looked like behind-the-scenes (which, TBH, looks a lot smaller than I imagined): Also, Saved by the Bell didn't use canned laughter; it was filmed before a live studio audience: Jean Stapleton and Carroll O'Connor were actually not that old when All In The Family premiered in 1971. Stapleton was 48, and O'Connor was 46 — for context, Reese Witherspoon is currently 48, and Ashton Kutcher is 46: This is what a 20-year-old Madonna looked like in 1978, when she first moved to New York: While filming Scooby-Doo, the actors employed various methods to help them act opposite a CGI Scooby. One method was to memorize exactly where (the creepy) Scooby's head on a stick — which was used for camera placement — was during the set-up: In case you were wondering, the scene in the airport where Scooby is in disguise as a grandma was filmed using a man dressed in costume and wearing a green screen hood: Here's Cameron Diaz... And Eddie Murphy recording their lines for Shrek: Michael Keaton's Batman wears Nike shoes in Batman and Batman Returns, but there are contradictory reasons why that came to be. According to the assistant costume designer on the 1989 Batman film, one of the producers had struck a product deal with Nike and needed them in the movie, and because they didn't fit stylistically with any of the other characters or background actors, they incorporated them into Batman's costume. While the lead costume designer on the 1989 movie remembers Nike gifting it to them without a tie-in: You might have never noticed, but Jack Nicholson gets top billing on the poster and opening credits of Batman (over the lead, Micheal Keaton). This was part of Nicholson's list of demands for signing on to play the Joker: This promotional photo of Jack Nicholson in the "Here's Johnny!" moment in The Shining was what got him cast as the Joker. In 1980, Michael Uslan, who would go on to executive produce all the Batman films, picked up a copy of the New York Post, and when he opened up the movie section, he saw this photo of Nicholson, which was advertising that The Shining was opening that weekend. Uslan, who had bought the film rights for Batman the year prior, immediately thought that Nicholson was the only one who could play the Joker. When he got home, he tore the photo from the paper and drew the Joker's face over it using Wite-Out and markers. The drawing, indeed, looks a lot like the Joker from the film: According to Uslan, "The day Jack Nicholson was hired was the best day of my career to that point." Here's what Humphrey Bogart looked like in color as his Casablanca character Rick Blaine: If you've ever seen Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot, then you know it's one of the funniest movies ever and has aged surprisingly well. This is what Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis looked like in color as their drag characters Josephine and Jerraldine/Daphne: While here's a color photo of the rehearsal on the train scene in from Some Like It Hot: And here's a color photo of Marilyn Monroe as Sugar Kane: Popular Hollywood movies being adapted into Broadway musicals is not a new phenomenon. In 1970, one of the greatest films of all time, All About Eve, was adapted into the popular musical Applause, with Lauren Bacall in the role of Margo Channing (who was iconically portrayed by Bette Davis in the film). Below are some photos of the production when it was adapted for a CBS television special: In 1999, in an interview on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, Lauren Bacall spoke about how Bette Davis approved of her performance. In 1966, Breakfast at Tiffany's was adapted into a musical, with Mary Tyler Moore and Richard Chamberlain as Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak. The show was a huge failure, closing quickly after only four previews on Broadway. Here are a couple of photos of Moore and Chamberlain rehearsing for the show: These clay models of Woody and Buzz's faces were created for Toy Story so that they could be scanned into the computer whenever needed so that animators could always get the right shape, depth, and scale when animating them: To promote the remake of Child's Play in 2019, promotional posters of Chucky killing Toy Story characters were released: The poster designs were based on the promotional character posters for Toy Story 4 — which was released on the same day as Child's Play: Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews rehearsing a dance number for Mary Poppins: Here is a screenshot of Britney Spears and Madonna rehearsing the iconic kiss they did during the 2003 VMA's "Like A Virgin"/"Hollywood" opening performance: And here's a screenshot of Christina Aguilera kissing Madonna during rehearsal, which wasn't seen during the original telecast because the camera people cut to Justin Timberlake to get his reaction: This is Ronald Reagan modeling for a sculpture class in 1939-ish: Here's a photo of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks putting their handprints and signatures in cement outside the Chinese Theater in 1927. They were the first two celebrities to ever do it: This is an awesome (at least to me) photo of George Lucas, David Bowie, and Jim Henson taken to promote Labyrinth: Here's Princess Diana at the London premiere of Labyrinth, alongside Jim Henson, as she meets Ludo: And here's Princess Di at the London premiere of Jurassic Park in 1993, warmly greeting her longtime friend, actor-director Sir Richard Attenborough, who played John Hammond in the film: In fact, the last premiere Princess Di attended was for Attenborough's In Love and War in February of 1997: Here's Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger in 1967, having a conversation as they wait for their train to depart: These photos are of the Apple Boutique, a short-lived London store owned by the Beatles. The store was open from December 1967 to July 1968 — closing for several reasons, including too much shoplifting and not being able to make a profit because they sold rather expensive to produce clothes at low prices: But the shop was open long enough for a young Maggie Smith to film a scene there for the movie Hot Millions, where her character goes shopping at the Apple Boutique for psychedelic clothing: When Forrest Gump was released in 1994, the special effects scenes that incorporated archived footage with Forrest in them were pretty mind-blowing. Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of how the scene where Forrest meets Richard Nixon was filmed: And here's how the scene looked in the film: This is what the mysterious and spooky, and all together ooky cast of The Addams Family looked like in color: While Salvador Dalí is an artist who is most associated with the surrealism movement of the '20s and '30s, he was actually still a very active artist at the same time Andy Warhol was in the '60s and '70s (in fact, Dalí outlived Warhol). Below is a photo of the two in 1975, at a screening of the film Shampoo: Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of the Clueless cast with the movie's director, Amy Heckerling, taken while they filmed the movie's final scene: Jackie Kennedy's iconic pink suit is, of course, forever linked to JFK's assassination. However, she wore the suit publicly at least six times before that day. Below is a photo of her wearing it to visit her sister, Lee Radziwill, in London in March 1962. She also wore it when the Maharajah and Maharani of Jaipur visited the White House in October 1962. When The Wizard of Oz started filming, the Wicked Witch of West was not as menacing looking as she would be in the final film, with Margaret Hamilton wearing less makeup and a long bob wig. While Judy Garland's Dorothy wore a strawberry blonde wig and a lot of makeup to give her a "baby-doll" look: Two weeks' worth of footage was shot with the characters having these looks until the film's director, Richard Thrope, was let go from the film, after MGM executives thought that the scenes he shot "did not have the right air of fantasy about them." The movie was paused and Dorothy and the Wicked Witch of the West's costumes were redesigned to what we saw in the final film: Also, none of the footage Thrope shot survived. Here's a photo of Martin Luther King Jr., along with his kids, Yolanda and Martin Luther III, in 1964, riding the Ford Magic Skyway attraction that was built by Disney for the New York World's Fair: It's A Small World was actually an attraction that Disney originally built for the 1964 New York World's Fair, and this is what the exterior of the ride looked like: Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of Alfred Hitchcock directing Janet Leigh in the iconic shower scene in Psycho: This is a marketing poster for Psycho featuring Alfred Hitchcock telling people they needed to arrive at the movie on time or else they wouldn't be allowed to be let in. Before the 1970s, it was common for people to buy tickets and drop into a theater at any point during a movie. The poster was created because Hitchcock wanted to ensure that people didn't have the plot twists spoiled by showing up late — and the campaign worked: If you've been on TikTok, then you might have stumbled upon a video of some younger people who didn't know that we used to have commercial supersonic planes. This is a photo of Queen Elizabeth on a chartered Concorde on her way back to London in 1977, after her Silver Jubilee tour of Canada and the West Indies: Did the late Queen Elizabeth ever watch a Lindsay Lohan movie? The answer is YES! Here's the Queen meeting Natasha Richardson at The Parent Trap's Royal Premiere in London in 1998: This is how the water balloon scene was filmed in The Parent Trap: Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of director Mark Waters showing Daniel Franzese how to grab Lindsay Lohan's hair in the "Is that your natural hair color" moment in Mean Girls: And here's a behind-the-scenes photo of Tina Fey filming the gym scene in Mean Girls: And lastly, here are Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe at a photo-call in London, in August 2000, after it was announced that they would be playing Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone film:

‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' Ending in 2026 — Et Tu, Skydance?
'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' is ending in May 2026, Colbert announced during the taping of the show before his studio audience on July 17. Not only is his edition of the show ending, but 'The Late Show' as a franchise will be retired altogether, CBS announced. 'The Late Show' was pioneered by David Letterman on CBS starting in 1993 and has run continuously ever since, with Colbert taking over in 2015. More from IndieWire Judd Apatow Praises Viral 'Girls' Scene Amid 'Too Much' Buzz: Andrew Rannells Is a 'Remarkable' Actor Marc Maron Says Jon Stewart Doesn't Like Him: 'There's No Love Here' In the video, which you can watch below, of Colbert announcing the end of 'The Late Show,' he makes clear that this was not his decision but something he 'found out last night.' With palpable regret he said, 'Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending 'The Late Show' in May.' As loud boos erupted from the entire audience, Colbert added, 'Yeah, I share your feelings.' Everyone seeing this stunning news will immediately assume that the cancellation is related to CBS parent company Paramount Global's impending merger with Skydance, which has resulted in decisions across the company to curry favor with President Donald Trump so that his Department of Justice will approve the merger. The Skydance acquisition has already resulted in editorial interference at '60 Minutes,' something protested by Scott Pelley. There had been elevated chatter lately about the future of several late night properties amid declining ratings and ad dollars for all of the network shows, and in the case of Paramount Global, which owns CBS, and is the parent company for both 'The Late Show' on CBS and 'The Daily Show' on Comedy Central, how much it would continue to tolerate the anti-Trump stance of 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert. Not so fast regarding 'The Late Show,' says CBS. Trying to get ahead of the obvious assumption, the network said in a statement obtained by IndieWire, 'This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' The statement is attributed to George Cheeks, Co-CEO Paramount Global and President and Chief Executive Officer, CBS, as well as Amy Reisenbach, President, CBS Entertainment, and David Stapf, President, CBS Studios. ''The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,' began the statement. 'We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire 'The Late Show' franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.' After the aside implying the merger had nothing to do with the decision, the statement continued, 'Our admiration, affection, and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult. Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been #1 in late night for nine straight seasons; Stephen's comedy resonates daily across digital and social media; and the broadcast is a staple of the nation's zeitgeist.' 'The accomplishments of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' are memorable and significant in performance, quality and stature. With much gratitude, we look forward to honoring Stephen and celebrating the show over the next 10 months alongside its millions of fans and viewers.' Watch Colbert's full announcement below.
