Apple to Pay $25 Million for Billie Eilish Documentary [Report]

Apple is near a deal to pay $25 million for a documentary about Billie Eilish, the seventeen-year-old singer it just named Apple Music Artist of the Year, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The film, which has already been shot, was directed by R.J. Cutler and produced in collaboration with Eilish’s label, Interscope Records, for a budget that one source pegs as being between $1 million and $2 million. It is expected to follow the 17-year-old singer-songwriter in the wake of the release of her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, in March of this year. Cutler was granted deep access to Eilish’s private moments with family and behind-the-scenes of her public appearances.

Apple is expected to air the documentary on Apple TV+. Previous documentary projects like Taylor Swift's The 1989 World Tour (Live) and Ed Sheeran's Songwriter were released via Apple Music.
