Better Man: Trailer Talk

‘Better Man’ is a biopic chronicling British singer/songwriter Robbie Williams’ life, from his childhood all the way to his iconic three-day Knebworth gig event in 2003. 

The trailer for this particular biopic has caught people’s attention purely because of the way it’s been executed. While this is live action, every cast member is a human all aside from Robbie Williams himself, who will be portrayed as a motion capture CGI Monkey. 

While this may be a strange and surprising choice to some, it’s very expected for Robbie to take this direction. 

A lot of the promotional material in his solo career revolved around Chimps in some way, so this isn’t out of left field. Furthermore, the Chimp himself looks incredible; it’s reassuring to know that the visual effects/motion capture industry haven’t forgotten what can be achieved because of the ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise. 

Lead cast choice aside, the film looks fantastic and, with ‘The Greatest Showman’ director Michael Gracey on board, it’s sure to be a visual spectacle. 

The biopic’s execution is unique and interesting and, as someone who grew up with Robbie Williams’ music, this is one I’m definitely keeping an eye out for.
