The first trailer for Better Man has been released online. Directed by Michael Gracey, with a screenplay written by Gracey, Oliver Cole, and Simon Gleeson, the movie stars Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Alison Steadman, Damon Herriman, Anthony Hayes, and Kate Mulvany.

Here is the plot synopsis:

“Better Man is based on the true story of the meteoric rise, dramatic fall, and remarkable resurgence of British pop superstar Robbie Williams, one of the greatest entertainers of all time. Under the visionary direction of Michael Gracey (The Greatest Showman), the film is uniquely told from Williams’ perspective, capturing his signature wit and indomitable spirit. It follows Robbie’s journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-braking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.”
