Robbie Williams is one of the best-selling artists in British history.
The singer from Stork’s Life is set to hit the silver screen in the big-budget biopic Better Man.
Australian filmmaker Michael Gracey, who directed Robbie Williams and the box office smash The Greatest Showman, is in charge of the project, which will see the cast and crew take to the streets of London to create iconic scenes from the star’s life. He was also spotted filming the scene.

The teaser trailer for Robbie Williams’ new movie has finally been released. You’ll see the singer played by a CGI monkey.
The film is being billed as a “musical fantasy” and will be filmed at Melbourne’s Docklands Studios throughout 2022, with filming in the UK in 2023.
Back in December 2021, director Michael Gracey officially announced that a Robbie Williams movie would be made.
“It feels like a dream come true to be able to tell the beautiful and unique story of Robbie Williams in my hometown, my city,” he enthused.
“Melbourne’s film industry is burning with creative energy and I’m confident this film will thrive here.”
Simon Gleeson, Oliver Cole and Gracie co-wrote the film’s screenplay, and Better Man’s producers are Paul Curry, Gracie, Coco Xiaolu Ma, Jules Daly and Craig McMahon.
In typical Robbie Williams style, the singer didn’t hesitate to reveal the ups and downs behind the scenes of filmmaking.
Robbie said of the biopic: “The thing about movies is that it’s a wonder what gets made.
“Everything gets bottlenecked. It’s always, ‘This person says no, this person says yes, this person is angry, and this person isn’t angry enough.’ It’s the agent and the lawyer.
‘Better Man’ Soundtrack: What kind of songs are included in the movie?

Officials are keeping secret what will be on the Robbie Williams movie soundtrack.
With so many hits to choose from, producers have a hard time narrowing them down to just a few: “Angels,” “She’s The One,” “Supreme,” “Feel,” “Rock DJ,” and more. You may be doing it.
Gracie confirmed in a 2021 interview with Deadline that the song would be featured in the film.
“All of Robbie’s songs will be re-sung to express the emotion of the moment,” he said.
“If he’s in the depths of despair, he’s not going to sing the song as cabaret showmanship; he’s going to sing it broken down, a cappella, stripped down, because that’s where his emotions are. Because in a moment of pure joy, the song would be sung in this whirlpool of hysteria.
“Basically, every song in the movie Robbie sings, and it’s played to match the emotion of the moment and the scene.”
