Superstar Tom Cruise is stepping outside his action franchise comfort zone in his latest project, 'Digger.' The film, directed by Oscar-winner Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, sees Cruise transform into an aging, beer-bellied, cat-loving oil billionaire.
The compelling storyline, revealed through a trailer at CinemaCon, involves Cruise's character being responsible for an ecological catastrophe teetering on the brink of nuclear war. John Goodman stars as ailing U.S. President pleading for a solution, while Cruise's character, Digger Rockwell, remains obstinate.
This project marks Cruise's first non-franchise role since 2017, breaking from his 'Mission Impossible' and 'Top Gun' sequels. Enthusiasm at CinemaCon was palpable, with Cruise and Inarritu expressing excitement for the film's October release and anticipation of a landmark year for cinema.
