Digger: save or destroy the world? Then come the images of Digger, which quite clearly evoke the shadow of Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (1964). Tom Cruise plays a powerful man convinced he can save the world, before massive destruction is triggered by the catastrophic consequences of his own actions. In just a few seconds, the actor appears in a demented register, very different from his recent roles, which only further fuels the curiosity surrounding the film.
Shot on 35mm VistaVision, with Emmanuel Lubezki as cinematographer, Digger also stars Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, and Jesse Plemons. Iñárritu co-wrote the screenplay with Nicolás Giacobone and Alexander Dinelaris, for his first English-language film in ten years. Digger will be released exclusively in theaters in October. Its first real trailer will be released online on July 13th.
