Interviews With "Better Man" Director/Co-Writer Michael Gracey & Star Robbie Williams

from The Next Best Picture Podcast · host Evergreen Podcasts

"Better Man" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its elaborately staged and choreographed musical sequences from director Michael Gracey ("The Greatest Showman") and the raw honesty with which global pop star Robbie Williams allowed his story to be told (all the while being portrayed on-screen by a CGI monkey nonetheless). Gracey and Williams were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with Daniel Howat and Dan Bayer, respectively, about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Paramount Pictures and is up for your consideration for this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories, including Best Visual Effects.
