Overview
- Warner Bros. released the final official trailer on Wednesday, September 9, giving the clearest look yet at Digger and confirming its North American theatrical and IMAX release on October 2 with some international markets beginning September 30.
- The trailer depicts Tom Cruise transformed by prosthetics and makeup into Digger Rockwell, a potbellied, grey‑haired oil tycoon who must try to contain an ecological catastrophe his company helped cause.
- Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu presents the film as a satire about greed, power and responsibility, with the trailer leaning into dark comedy and stagey, absurd set pieces that have prompted fan theories about meta or theatrical elements.
- Digger was shot in large‑format VistaVision with Oscar‑winning cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and will have multiple IMAX presentations, a technical choice intended to emphasize spectacle and immersive theatrical viewing.
- The film reunites Iñárritu with a high‑profile creative team and ensemble cast and the trailer’s tone has already generated early awards speculation and attention that Warner Bros. is shaping through a wide theatrical push rather than a festival run.
