Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am has revealed the group are set to work with movie director James Cameron on a full-length feature which will follow the band as they tour around the world.

Speaking to Vibe, Will.i.am said that the band chose Cameron to collaborate with on the 3D project because of his status in the film industry.

"We have the biggest director, because we are the biggest group on the planet," he explained. "The Peas are filming it in South America. People will be able to see us in the theatre with the 3D glasses and everything. 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!' Nah, that's just two cities. We want to go across the planet."

The feature film is expected to hit cinemas early next year.
