Overview
- The final trailer, which Warner Bros. released Wednesday, Sept. 9, confirms Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell and depicts a man-made ice/glacier catastrophe that he must try to contain.
- Alejandro G. Iñárritu directed the film from a screenplay he co-wrote with Alexander Dinelaris, Nicolás Giacobone and Sabina Berman, and the ensemble cast includes Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg and Jesse Plemons.
- Digger was shot in VistaVision with Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and will receive an IMAX rollout using multiple aspect ratios to emphasize a theatrical-first presentation.
- Cruise’s heavy prosthetic transformation by Kazu Hiro gives him thinning grey hair, a potbelly and a thick accent, marking a deliberate move away from his recent action roles and toward an actor-driven, satirical performance.
- The trailer has already generated awards-season chatter and interpretive fan theories about stagey, meta elements, which Warner Bros. is using as the film enters a full promotional rollout ahead of its October release.
