Billie Eilish is in talks to make her feature film acting debut in a new adaptation of The Bell Jar. The project would bring the singer into a leading movie role for the first time, adding a new chapter to a career already shaped by music, touring, and selective screen appearances.
The film is expected to center on Sylvia Plath’s 1963 novel, a landmark work that follows a young woman’s growing emotional struggle as she tries to find her place in the world. Sarah Polley is attached to write and direct, giving the production a filmmaker known for character-driven stories and careful handling of difficult material.
For Eilish, the move would mark a notable step beyond music videos, documentaries, and television work. While she has appeared on screen before, this would be her first major role in a feature-length narrative film.
