“Digger here got us into this mess, and Digger’s gonna get dig us out again!” Can he do it?? Warner Bros has finally revealed the actual full official trailer for Digger, the entirely original new Tom Cruise movie directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu that’s hitting theaters starting in October this fall. This has been a big mystery for a while – with cryptic teasers only building up the hype but not revealing much yet. Well – now we know exactly what’s going on! The most powerful man in the world, a greedy oil barren, embarks upon a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed (a massive apocalyptic Greenland iceberg known as Judy) destroys everything. Tom Cruise stars as the Digger Rockwell, along with Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Sophie Wilde, Emma D’Arcy, Robert John Burke, Burn Gorman, Michael Stuhlbarg, & John Goodman. With cinematography by maestro Emmanuel Lubezki reuniting with Innaritu again after Birdman & The Revenant. My goodness this looks incredible! This is absolutely a modern day Dr. Strangelove, playing up the absurdity of this situation as all these big wigs try to solve the problem – but only end up making tings worse. “Digg or die.” Let’s go! This is the kind of bonkers, all-out big and insane and hilarious movie we all need right now. I cannot wait to see it this fall.
Here’s the full official trailer (+ poster) for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Digger movie, from WB’s YouTube:

Digger, initially rumored to be titled Judy from the iceberg, is directed by acclaimed, Oscar-winning Mexican filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu, director of Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Babel, Biutiful, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), The Revenant, and Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths previously.
