Black Eyed Peas are collaborating with Avatar director James Cameron for a 3D tour movie. Frontman William confirmed that the group have handpicked The Terminator creator to film a documentary about their trip in South America. The footage scheduled for release next year will use the same technology employed in the epic movie Avatar.

"Right now we are planning our 3-D tour movie and James Cameron is directing it," the singer said.

"We have the biggest director because we are the biggest group on the planet. The Peas are filming it in South America. People will be able to see us in the theatre with the 3D glasses and everything.

"There will be a storyline that [Cameron] came up with, which will be dope," William added.

"It's a full-length film and it's based around our tour activities. We've toured from America and Europe, to the Middle East, South America, Asia and Africa. It's not like we go, 'Yo, we are international, you know what I'm saying? London and Paris!' No, that's just two cities. We want to go across the planet."

Mr Cameron, one of the highest-grossing directors of all time, also made Aliens, True Lies and Titanic.
