Billie Eilish is on set, filming for the upcoming film adaptation of The Bell Jar!
The 24-year-old Grammy Award winning singer was photographed in period piece attire filming a scene on Tuesday (August 4) in Toronto, Canada.
Billie will be playing Esther Greenwood in the adaptation of Sylvia Plath‘s famous novel. The movie will mark her feature film acting debut, though she’s already a two-time Oscar winner thanks to her music.
Variety reports that the story will follow “a young woman’s descent into mental illness amid the stifling societal expectations for women in the 1950s.” Sarah Polley, who won an Oscar for her Women Talking screenplay, is set to write and direct the upcoming movie.
It has also been rumored that Heated Rivalry actor Connor Storrie will be in the movie. His casting was leaked by a museum where the movie was being filmed in Canada. Carey Mulligan is also rumored to be playing Billie’s character’s mom.
