Wētā VFX supervisor Luke Millar discusses turning Robbie Williams into a performing monkey for Michael Gracey's biopic.

Michael Gracey reveals the unlikely origin story for ‘Better Man,’ which opens the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 2.

In Better Man, a musical biopic directed by Michael Gracey, Robbie Williams is embodied by a digital monkey. In the film, the British pop icon exposes the consequences of premature fame and his complex relationship with his father.

Better Man' director Michael Gracey claims it was a simple decision to have Robbie Williams portrayed by a chimp in the new film as the singer considers himself to be a "performing monkey".
