Robbie Williams & Director Michael Gracey smiling during Better Man interview
Directed by Michael Gracey, Better Man explores the life and career of singer Robbie Williams through his own eyes. English pop star Robbie Williams is known for being part of the group Take That as well as his hit solo singles including"Rock DJ" and"Millennium." This is not just a normal biopic, however, as Williams will be presented as a CGI monkey. Jonno Davies does the voice and performance capture for Robbie Williams.
Posts ScreenRant interviewed Director Michael Gracey and Robbie Williams to discuss Better Man and why Williams is portrayed as a monkey. Gracey revealed how his extensive background in VFX helped him with his vision for the film. Williams also got raw and emotional about who in his life he did not want to see the movie.
Robbie Williams: It was straight away. But I said, after the film was made,"Why didn't you just come in and say, here's the idea. Why did you go through the charade of asking me what my spirit animal was?" And he said,"Well, I've come to find that when you work with stars, that whatever the idea is, it has to be their idea." So this is my idea.
Also working with Wētā, it's the best of the best. So the team that they put together on this film, and the passion that those artists had, it's some of the best work I've ever seen in terms of the world of visual effects. And for me, it was just a thrill. Robbie Williams Does Not Want His Dad To See Better Man, But Is Thankful For What The Film Did For His Relationship With Nicole Appleton "What's happened with Nic is a whole bunch of healing for me and for her." Screen Rant: Is there anyone in your life you were nervous for them to see the film? Maybe your dad or Nicole? Robbie Williams: I hope he doesn't. I hope he doesn't. Because, you know, this is the movie told through my mom's eyes.
