After a couple of brief teasers we finally get a proper look at Tom Cruise in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's black comedy Digger. A heavily made-up Cruise plays Digger Rockwell, an aging oil baron who becomes the planet's only hope when the US president (John Goodman) assigns him the task of averting a massive ecological disaster caused by his own actions.
Iñárritu co-wrote the script with his Birdman writers Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Giacobone, and the playwright Sabina Berman.
The cast also includes Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Sophie Wilde, Emma D'Arcy, Robert John Burke, Burn Gorman and Michael Stuhlbarg.
Digger is in UK/ROI cinemas from October 2nd.
Check out the new trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.
