Paramount Pictures has released the official trailer for Better Man, the highly anticipated musical biographical drama starring British pop icon Robbie Williams. Directed by Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), the film presents an unconventional portrayal of Williams’ life, where the singer plays himself—through the guise of a monkey.
An Unorthodox Take on a Superstar’s Journey
Better Man promises to be unlike any traditional biopic. The movie chronicles the highs and lows of Williams’ career, from his boyband beginnings in Take That to his record-breaking success as a solo artist. Told entirely from Williams’ perspective, the narrative captures his wit, charm, and struggles with fame in a way that only Robbie could.
The trailer offers glimpses of Williams’ childhood, family life, and turbulent rise to fame, blending emotional depth with dazzling musical sequences. Fans will see Williams navigate self-doubt and the pressures of celebrity as he strives to prove himself outside of the boyband that made him a star.
A Star-Studded Cast and Creative Team
Directed by Michael Gracey, Better Man boasts a screenplay co-written by Gracey, Simon Gleeson, and Oliver Cole. The film features a stellar supporting cast, including Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Damon Herriman, Raechelle Banno, and Alison Steadman.
With its mix of humor, heartache, and cinematic spectacle, Better Man aims to capture the spirit of one of Britain’s most beloved entertainers while offering a uniquely artistic spin on the genre.
Release Details
Better Man will premiere in select theaters on December 25, just in time for the holiday season, before its wide release on January 17, 2025. Fans of Robbie Williams and innovative storytelling won’t want to miss this bold reimagining of his life and career.
