Warner Bros. releases the final trailer for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s political satire “Digger,” starring Tom Cruise as an oil tycoon, Digger Rockwell. The trailer centers on a darkly comic premise in which the billionaire is tasked with “saving” a world he helped destroy, with the story framed around Cruise’s character transformation.
Both outlets describe the film as a satire and highlight Cruise’s preparation for the role. Deadline notes that the actor takes decades of preparation—about 40 years—into the part, while also emphasizing the new trailer comes as the movie moves toward a scheduled theatrical release. The Hindu similarly focuses on the trailer’s fuller look at Cruise’s “bizarre transformation” into a crusty oil baron, presenting the performance and character makeup as major elements of the film’s tone.
While the outlets differ in emphasis—Deadline foregrounds production and preparation details, and The Hindu highlights the trailer’s character depiction—both agree the final trailer is out now and the movie is set to reach theaters on October 2.
