Los Angeles, California – Billie Eilish is reportedly finalizing a plan to make her movie acting debut!
According to a Wednesday report from Deadline, the 24-year-old singer is in “advanced talks” to star in an upcoming film adaptation of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
The outlet reports that Sarah Polley, who wrote and directed the Oscar-winning drama Women Talking in 2022, is set to direct the movie.
The Bell Jar, published in 1963, is a semi-autobiographical work that follows a 19-year-old woman named Esther Greenwood and her struggles with mental illness.

Billie, who is reportedly attached to play Esther, has not appeared in any movies before, but she made her overall acting debut in 2023 with her role in the Prime Video TV series Swarm.
The Grammy winner revealed at the time that she always dreamt of acting, but had been “reluctant” to admit it, as she didn’t feel confident in her skills.
She was previously rumored to be joining the cast of Mr. and Mrs. Smith season 2, but it was later revealed that Companion star Sophie Thatcher would be taking on the role of the new female lead.
