Warner Bros. kicks off its first briefing with a Tom Cruise retrospective. The video traces more than four decades of his career and offers an early look at the actor in Digger. The angle highlights Cruise’s standing in today’s action cinema, without revealing much of the film’s plot yet.
With a premise built on a global catastrophe, Digger could appeal to fans of Tom Cruise’s action-driven blockbusters, as well as to viewers curious about the direction Alejandro González Iñárritu has chosen for a project that leans more toward pure entertainment. The film is less suited for those seeking a family comedy or a intimate, small-scale drama.
The official retrospective trailer for Digger offers viewers a first look at the film.
