    Billie Eilish’s big 2019 is culminating as she nears a deal with Apple TV+ for a documentary that comes with a $25 million price tag, according to multiple sources.

    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.

    I'm super interested in what the ceiling on her career is. Wondering if we have another Lorde situation.

    Side note: Apple TV is pretty disappointing but Dickinson is incredibly fun. About 5 episodes in and it's really enjoyable.

    She’s already had more singles chart than Lorde hasn’t she? I see Billie having longevity
