Robin Test Footage Showcases Amazing Robin Williams Impression, and Fans Want the Full Movie

✖

Earlier this week came a surprise video that has taken the internet by storm, one wherein some filmmakers and fans have shot a test sequence for what would in theory be a Robin Williams biopic. Simply titled "ROBIN Test Footage Scene," the five minute scene has been trending on line (notably on YouTube too) and has already racked up over 1.8 million views. The video, which features actor Jamie Costa performing as the late comedian, has many fans praising it so much that there are calls for the feature-length version to be commissioned. You can find the video below along with the fan reactions.

In the "Test Footage Scene," Costa appears as Robin Williams, having previously made headlines and gone viral for his impression of the comedian after his death in 2014. The scene itself is a moment between Williams and his Mork & Mindy co-star Pam Dawber, played by actress Sarah Murphree, ahead of shooting a scene on the popular sitcom when she breaks the news to him that his fellow comedian John Belushi passed away the night before. Costa goes through a wide array of emotions and beats as Williams in the sequence, among the many reasons fans are eager to see it become a full film. The scene is directed by Jake Lewis, who co-wrote it with Sam Lewis and Jamie Costa,

Beyond an impression

WOW. ? This is beyond an impression... it's like Robin Williams jumped into Jamie Costa's body in a effort to get his well-deserved bio-pic made already.

I don't often get goosebumps

I don't often get goosebumps from something truly uncanny, but this is quite magical footage - even when he just says 'no' with sadness, the resemblance is remarkable. If a biopic does get made with Jamie Costa as Robin Williams, get a great script & director to do it justice? ? pic.twitter.com/WMMvspNiNR

Jamie Costa has absolutely NAILED this role of Robin Williams, he brings that same spark he had to this.
