>irrelevant musician gets a biopic>but they replace him with a CGI monkeyWhat drugs were they doing when they decided to make this
>>216021432Huge govt funding from Australia
>live in the yookay>Better Man advertisements are met with 'Why is he a monkey though?' and 'That looks shite'>everyone forgets about it>except some autist on /tv/ who took personal grievance with Robbie Williams for releasing a shit movie
>>216021432No joke, he thought it would be an easier sell to US distributors because it could just be about a monkey musician if you didn't know who Robbie Williams was. The original pitch was a CGI lion instead though, Williams insisted on the monke
>>216021427They probably recognised the washed up popstar who made everyone cringe by trying to be relatable on Britain's Got Talent or whatever the fuck
>>216021432I hope we get more, imagine furry beatles
>>216021461It seems it backfired. Hell it may have been the first victim of black fatigue because a lot of Americans thought it was pro-black shit by making a chimp and calling it 'better man'.
Here's the real inside scoop: one of the producers owned a chunk of a CGI firm that specialized in apes. He cut Robbie in on the deal for going with the plan. They couldn't care less if the movie ever made a pound, they got paid on the front end.

>>216021398Brit here. Absolutely no idea who Robbie Williams was, though I know now from googling that he was in Take That who had a few hits and middle aged women creamed their gussets over.I've no idea who the audience for this was supposed to be.Nobody cares about him here let alone anywhere else.
