Michael Gracey’s somewhat unconventional Robbie Williams biopic Better Man has just debuted its first trailer and you can watch it here.
“I’ve always seen myself as little less… evolved.”
These words are heard in the first trailer for Better Man in the voice of Robbie Williams. That makes sense, since Better Man is a biopic of Williams and how he became as famous as he is. Nothing new or unexpected there, really. Hollywood loves a biopic.
But Michael Gracey’s biopic has a big surprise up its sleeve.
Take a look at the first trailer to find out what it is.
That’s right, Williams is portrayed here as a CGI monkey. Hey, you can’t accuse Gracey of playing it safe, at least. The news of such a biopic did land all the way back in 2021, so you’d be forgiven if you forgot all about it.
Here’s an official synopsis: Better Man looks at the rise, fall and resurrection of Robbie Williams – one of the UK’s bestselling artists of all time. Michael Gracey will shine light on the incredible highs and lows of celebrity and the journey to stardom, inspired by Williams’ life and how he sees himself.
Jonno Davies, Damon Herriman, Alison Steadman, Steve Pemberton and Raechelle Banno all join Williams in the film’s cast. Gracey has penned the script together with Oliver Cole and Simon Gleeson.
The monkey version of Williams was created by the good folks at Weta FX so we can expect it to look pretty life-like. Better Man premiered at the 51st Telluride Film Festival to mostly positive reviews, but it remains to be seen whether Gracey’s latest film can capture the zeitgeist like The Greatest Showman.
Entertainment Film Distributors are bringing Better Man to UK cinemas on 26th December.
