Tom Cruise premieres his new film “Digger” in London, with Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales among the attending guests. The screening is described as part of the “Royal Film Performance,” and takes place in the Leicester Square area, where Cruise is on hand for the premiere night red-carpet events.
Sources agree that the film stars Cruise as Digger Rockwell, a wealthy oil tycoon, in a satirical black comedy directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. Audience reception is generally characterized as enthusiastic or star-studded across outlets, including references to William and Kate being seated prominently during the event. Some articles focus more on the event’s celebrity and royal attendance, while others emphasize the film’s themes, including power and greed, and the suggestion of an ecological disaster. Deadline also notes international release timing, including a Sept. 30 release date and North America start dates, while other sources primarily cover the premiere and guest list.
