Apple is negotiating to take off the table a documentary on singer Billie Eilish that has been directed by R.J. Cutler, the documentarian behind films including The World According to Dick Cheney and The September Issue. The film will be streamed on Apple TV+. Eilish – full name Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O’Connell – is the 17-year old phenomenon who records with her brother Finneas O’Connell and has other business with Apple and was named Apple Music’s artist of the year. Deal was made through her Interscope Records label.

Deal is 8-figures.
