The British pop star Robbie Williams has always felt like a performing monkey.

In the coming musical biopic Better Man, the character of Robbie Williams is a computer-generated chimp, though everyone else around him is human.

For the chimp's face, the eyes of the actual pop star were used.

And so from the first frame of the film to the last, Williams is portrayed by a monkey, first as a young childlike one with furry paws and outsized ears who doesn't fit in at school and is desperate for the approval of his showman father; then as a rebellious boy-band monkey with dyed blond hair (just on his head) and a penchant for copious amounts of cocaine and alcohol; and finally as an adult monkey desperately trying to fight off his demons.

"So, as I said, Robbie's Home! began airing in the fall of '96 and it was an immediate hit. Ratings were huge. Pretty good reviews, and then one day, we're shooting an episode in season two entitled 'Robbie's Birthday.' And, boom. Robbie just hit his limit. It was six minutes and 13 seconds of havoc. The network tried to bury it, but it was a spectacle. People are just obsessed."

• Inside Call of Duty: Next 2024['s] Washington, D.C. Takeover

"The planning for it started six to nine months ago, when we were figuring out where we wanted to have it this year and it really came down to the storyline of the game," senior vice president and head of marketing at Activision Tyler Bahl told Variety. "Looking at this new level, 'Most Wanted,' it takes place in D.C. at Governor Bill Clinton's fundraiser. And we were asking, how can we bring this to life in a much bigger way?"

The Next event was created to drive social media engagement and sales surrounding the Call of Duty franchise by giving top gaming-focused creators a chance to get hands-on multiplayer experience with new titles ahead of release.

Bahl notes so much of the focus this year is on the themed activities that will give the influencers the content they need to increase hype among their followers for Black Ops 6.

"There's going to be a motorcade that is going to drive through D.C. So it'll be five busses, 16 motorcycles driving through D.C., fully branded for Black Ops 6."

"We have one of these characters that we're bringing to life called the Mega Abomination. That'll actually be greeting all the creators as they arrive – this three-story monster that breathes fire lasers as they enter. It's going to be the largest marionette for a video game and we will have Guinness Book of World Records there to verify that."

"And at the Spy Museum, we're gonna have our first Call of Duty wedding. We have two creators that met through Call of Duty and we'll have a third creator who's going to officiate. It's tricked out with all kinds of stuff, like Call of Duty cufflinks, orange-and-black bouquets, and robes and cakes."

"Based on the Has Fallen movies."

Angel, night… What else falls?

Apple Has Fallen: Mike Banning must save Tim Cook after South Korean terrorists kidnap him inside Apple's "spaceship" headquarters.

Each Has Fallen film has been released by a different distributor. Direct to Apple TV+?

With plans to expand into a franchise, producers have various foreign, local-language, TV spin-offs in development.

London Has Fallen: Gordon Tremblay must protect the Canadian Prime Minister from militant Quebec separatists in southwestern Ontario.

The intent for TV show installments would be to add additional characters to appear in future films.

Oh, they're both Citadel-ing Has Fallen and Marvel Television-ing it.

• He's Got 83 Billion Views, But Can 12-Year-Old Ryan Kaji Open a Movie?

Narrator: He couldn't.

In its third weekend, Harold and the Purple Crayon, in 11th place, outgrossed the first-ever theatrical release by a digital creator by more than 3×.

Ryan's World: The Movie will also help usher in the Kajis' third phase of the business, which is to find the next Ryan.

It's not enough to exploit their own child…

The Kajis have been auditioning on-camera talent for the past year, looking for kids with authentic, distinct energy and, most importantly, parents with ethics that line up with their own.

Parents who are also keen on exploiting their children.
