Robbie Williams Biopic To Be Created In An Australian City

Thousands of Victorian creatives and citizens will be soon be contributing to the set of the new Robbie Williams biopic, Better Man. 

With filming set to begin in early 2022, the project will be directed and co-written by Victorian filmmaker Michael Gracey, known widely for his work on The Greatest Showman. 

The Victorian Government through Film Victoria has backed the project, which will be one of the largest ever movies to film on location in Melbourne and at Docklands Studios Melbourne.

The production is expected to inject $107 million into the Victorian economy, set to create more than 2200 local jobs and employ 2700 more extras and casuals. 

Minister for Creative Industries Danny Pearson shared: "Victoria has a long history of celebrated contributions to the global film industry and Better Man will further showcase our world-class talent, crew and locations.

"Supported as part of our VICSCREEN strategy, this project will create thousands of jobs for Victorians while delivering economic benefits right across the state.”

Better Man will be distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Roadshow Films.
