Story: Directed by The Greatest Showman's Michael Gracey, on paper this new movie sounds like a conventional soup-to-nuts, rags-to-riches tale of how a troublemaker from Stoke-on-Trent helped form the biggest boyband of the 90s and went on to become a global music icon in his own right. But then you see the trailer, and you see that Robbie Williams is played by a CGI ape (aka performance capture artist and actor Jonno Davies), and you realise this is anything but conventional.
