Filming of ‘superhero narrative’ of one of the UK’s most successful pop stars slated to begin in the summer
A biopic film about Robbie Williams is in the works, helmed by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey. In an interview with Deadline, Gracey said the project, which he has co-written, will begin production in the summer. It will tell the story of one of the UK’s most successful pop stars, who shot to fame with boyband Take That before a wildly successful and occasionally rocky solo career.
Including two albums with Take That, Williams has four of the 60 biggest-selling albums in
UK history, more than any other artist, and, while US fame largely eluded him, he is hugely popular across Europe.
