Tom Cruise is unrecognizable in crazy Digger trailer
Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new film will be released in September.
The world falls into two categories and (this time) Tom Cruise is one of those digging.
For Alejandro G. Iñárritu – the Oscar-winning director of Birdman – it will be Diggera lit billionaire who finally reveals himself in this first trailer put online by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.
“The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to establish himself as the savior of humanity before the catastrophe, which he himself triggered, wipes out the planet“, details the synopsis.
We understand from the video that Digger (which literally means “the one who digs”), a fan of drilling, will force an exploration into the glaciers of Greenland and cause a climatic catastrophe that threatens the entire Earth. Alongside the American President played by John Goodman, he will try to remedy this…
Tom Cruise, disguised under prosthetics, will have an improbable appearance in the film, will embody a human madness which already recalls that of the Doctor Strangelove by Stanley Kubrick. Enough to allow him to win this Oscar for Best Actor that is missing on his mantelpiece? Iñárritu managed to offer Leonardo DiCaprio his first (and only) statuette for The Revenant…
At his side, we will see Riz Ahmed and Sandra Hüller, as well as Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Emma D’Arcy from House of the Dragon.
Alejandro G. Iñárritu is directing, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolás Giacobon.
Digger will be released in France in cinemas on September 30, 2026.
