Robert Rodriguez on Billie Eilish’s Happier Than Ever and The Book of Boba Fett
Robert Rodriguez is always working. If you look at his expansive IMDb page, you’ll see his name attached to tons of different projects and he’s one of the few directors that has also worked as a composer, cinematographer, re-recording mixer, and even done the visual effects and production design. He’s one of those people that does whatever he needs to do to bring his vision to life.
With his latest project, the Billie Eilish cinematic concert experience Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles, arriving on Disney+ tomorrow, I recently landed an extended interview with Rodriguez to talk about co-directing the project with Patrick Osborne. During the wide-ranging conversation, he talked about how he got involved in the project, what it was like working with Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, how filming the concert without an audience enabled them to get shots that would have been impossible otherwise, how quickly the music industry works, and how he worked with his daughter on the animation. In addition, Rodriguez talked about why he’s excited for people to see The Book of Boba Fett this December, the success of We Can Be Heroes and when he’ll be making the sequel for Netflix, his next film, Hypnotic, with Ben Affleck, and more.
If you haven’t seen the trailer for Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles, the concert experience features an intimate performance of every song in the album's sequential order from the stage of the legendary Hollywood Bowl. The special also includes animated elements, taking viewers on a dreamlike journey through Billie’s hometown of Los Angeles and its most iconic backdrops. The concert also features the Los Angeles Children's Chorus, the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, and world renowned Brazilian guitarist, Romero Lubambo, with Orchestra Arrangements by David Campbell.
