Park Pictures’ Jon Watts Directs Live-Action Cinematic Trailer Featuring Camila Cabello
October 4, 2024
Camila Cabello is lending her voice for a haunting reimagining of a classic by the Who. On Tuesday, Rolling Stone exclusively premieres the live-action cinematic trailer for Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred, soundtracked by a dark, evocative Cabello cover of “Behind Blue Eyes.”
The visual, directed by Jon Watts [of Park Pictures], follows the storyline of Diablo IV’s protagonist Neyrelle as she goes on a dark, twisted journey into the fantasy world of Nahantu in search of the shining Soulstone. As the visual introduces Neyrelle’s Vessel of Hatred story, Cabello channels the Roger Daltrey-sung lyrics with a darker delivery and production by Noah Ehler and Jasper Harris.
“I love the experience of almost acting while I’m singing,” Cabello tells Rolling Stone. “I love seeing the visual of the hero Neyrelle, and just trying to convey what she was feeling through my singing: that paranoia in the beginning, and then, her fighting spirit. Those qualities have been such a part of my journey.”
The video arrives just days before Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is set to launch on Oct. 8 across Xbox, BattleNet, Steam, PS4, and PS5.
Cabello says the “Behind Blue Eyes” cover aligns with the moodier elements of the Magic City Edition of her album C, XOXO, and hears her continue living in the fantasy world she created with the album.
