Robbie Williams is a Monkey in ‘Better Man’ Music Biopic Full Trailer

“Don’t want to be a nobody…” Oh my. 🐒 Paramount has debuted the main official trailer for Better Man, telling the story of British popstar Robbie Williams. Opening in the US in wide release this January. It’s a brand new original musical from the director of The Greatest Showman, Michael Gracey. This premiered at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival and it opens in theaters later this year (in December for a week). “Discover an extraordinary journey that can’t be told in an ordinary way.” Williams is visualized as a photo-realistic monkey in the film instead of himself – animated by Weta VFX. Better Man is based on the mostly true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, who claims to be one of the greatest entertainers of all time. It also stars Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Damon Herriman, Raechelle Banno, Alison Steadman, Kate Mulvaney, Frazer Hadfield, Tom Budge, and Anthony Hayes. This still looks totally crazy! What a wild concept. And apparently it’s really good? It does look big and spectacular and entertaining – even if he’s literally a monkey the entire time. Who’s down? // Continue Reading ›
