“Better Man” Director Michael Gracey Is Not Monkeying Around

Following the success of “The Greatest Showman,” director Michael Gracey decided to set his sights on one of the greatest showmen of the world (debatable according to its subject) Robbie Williams. The result is a heartfelt, affecting, and entertaining film about dreams, mental issues, fame, and evolution.

I spent some time with Gracey to talk about his interest in making the film, working with Robbie Williams, and praising the guy in the monkey suit (or animation), Jonno Davies.

“Better Man” from Paramount Pictures is now out in theaters.
