  1. Some interviews for Arabic and Indian media 36DM_BLGrP8 ohmEAzTWEOQ
  2. Yes. That's good. it means there's a clear opportunity where it can be improved. All it takes is a little change in their minds :lol: Let's see, let's see... Waiting for Robbie at the Golden Globes tomorrow, isn't it? https://nerdbot.com/2025/01/04/82nd-annual-...e-the-nominees/
  3. Yes, thank you. It was good to know something new about Please Don't Die song for example. Anyway, Robbie mentions Better Man Part 2 rather often during his promo period, even here during a recent interview for Australia. Is he really think it's posiible at all or it's just a panto? He sounds like it's not only about Box office what is very strange for me. But if he believes in that it's good.
  4. The album comprises 13 songs, including his past smash hits “Feel”, “Something Beautiful”, “Rock DJ”, “Come Undone”, and “She's the One”, featuring Carter J. Murphy, Steve Pemberton, Tom Bales, Adam Tucker, and Kayleigh McKnight. Produced by Dan Romer, Eden Prince, Juan Ariza, Freddy Scott, Jason Hill, Chris Read, Darek Cobbs, Adam Blackstone, Jacob Collier, Hal Rosenfeld, and Freddy Wexler. The artwork for the soundtrack is an homage to his debut solo album cover, "Life Thru a Lens”. “Forbidden Road” from the soundtrack is nominated for Best Original Song, Motion Picture at the 82nd Annual Golden Globes. The film “Better Man” was directed by Michael Gracey. In the film “Better Man”, Robbie Williams is portrayed as a chimpanzee with CGI, featuring Jonno Davies played as Robbie Williams (motion capture), and Adam Tucker on Robbie Williams' vocals. Director Michael Gracey said of the film, “In the film, the voiceover... about 80% of them are from those original recordings that we did, and they're not scripted, they were just a conversation and I then edited those conversations into the film that you're about to watch, and they form the basis of the first script.” He continued, “But I found a unique way to tell this story and after listening back to the recordings, there was a reoccurring statement that Rob (Robbie Williams) would make about performing. And he would say 'yeah, tell me about it, I was off my head, they dragged me up on stage and I'd perform like a monkey'...” He added, After a while, I thought, 'Wouldn't it be amazing to represent Robbie as a monkey in the film?' Because Robbie is telling this story - and that's how he sees himself.” Adam Tucker said, "You spend so long grinding away trying to get the next gig, so getting the part was one of those pinch-me moments. I went to the London premiere and hearing my voice play out across the cinema was amazing." Robbie Williams said of Jonno Davies, “He's such a lovely person, and he's immensely talented. Watching him do his thing - which is my thing - was very interesting, confusing, wonderful, and a weird thing to watch. He's amazing.”
  5. Another interesting event happened yesterday. The first US of 2025 has started yesterday - Palm Springs International Film Festival. Better Man was an Opening movie of the Festival and Mr Gracey was there presenting the movie.

  7. 5 Musicals Released in 2024 Better Than Wicked Written by: Joshua Published January 1, 2025, 6:00 pm Musicals have had a tough run lately. Studios have been known to use clever (and sneaky) tactics to hide the fact that their movies are musicals entirely. Remember Wonka? But despite the negative stigma that the genre has carried in recent years, Wicked has defied the odds (and gravity) to become a box-office sensation and genuine crowd-pleaser. That’s great for Wicked and is a strong sign for musicals in general, but living in the giant shadow that Wicked cast are a slew of musicals that are arguably better than the Jon M. Chu directed hit. NUMBER 2 Better Man Directed by Michael Gracey Much like Piece by Piece put a unique spin on the often cliche-riddled genre of musical bio-pics, Better Man made the puzzling choice to tell the story of British pop star Robbie Williams with a CGI monkey standing in for the singer. And some how… it worked. The CGI animation looks phenomenal, the music is fantastic and the story manages to remain emotionally relevant despite the fact that the lead character is a singing monkey. https://fandomwire.com/5-2024-musicals-better-than-wicked/
  8. It's good to see some new reference of Intensive Care in 2025 year. By the way, there is 20-years anniversary of that album this autumn... Wow! Remembering the fact there are around another 15-20 songs more were recorded during that period would be great to get this Bonus CD at one point...
  9. Also let me put it here: https://www.screendaily.com/news/strong-dec...le?referrer=RSS Strong December boosts UK-Ireland 2024 box office to reach £1bn, level with 2023 By Ben Dalton3 January 2025 --- Almost no domestic movies in Top-10 2024, there are mostly US movies. Let's see what Better Man can do in 2025 year.
  10. I highly recommend you to watch this video - it's Q&A in Melbourne yesterday. Robbie was very funny there. Vl243QoOgkg
  11. Well, that's the stats in US yesterday. Again, all will be more clear in 2 weeks. Let's see how many cinemas it will get. You can compare that some big movies have 3000+ cinemas per day. I think if Better Man will get even 500 cinemas we will see the good effect. Interesting that one of the best movie of 2024 (The Count of Monte-Cristo) almost doesn't have any cinemas while September 5 (also Paramount) have not big figures while have almost the same quantity of cinemas like Better Man at the moment.
  12. Yes, Liz, sure I will. While ladies posted also reliable information about box office. Just hoping for a bigger boom with screenings. UxV03sQoZ5o
  13. Kayleigh McKnight, also known as KAELI, is a British singer, songwriter, and actor. She's West End actress too. She sings in She's The One. wnWyC6u7B9o
  14. It's great to hear that the 2nd time you had a much better feeling! And you're right, these 2 people who missed the Knebworth scene lost the very important message of the plot... Hope they will re watch it one day :) Well, seems now many of you have already watched Better Man at least 2 times. It's good!!
