Tom Cruise's 'Digger' Not a Musical

Tom Cruise's upcoming movie 'Digger' is not a musical, contrary to a theory circulating online. The final trailer for 'Digger' sparked the musical theory, with some viewers pointing out that Cruise appears to be on a rotating platform and background actors seem to be singing.

The movie, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, is actually a satirical dark comedy, starring Tom Cruise alongside Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons. The script was written by Iñárritu, Alexander Dinelaris, Nicolás Giacobone, and Sabina Berman, from a story by Jez Butterworth, Berman, and Iñárritu.

Cruise was first introduced to the 'Digger' project when Iñárritu read him the script aloud over several days. This approach is not new for Cruise, who has said that he likes to hear the writer's voice and understand their vision before committing to a project.

The theory that 'Digger' might be a musical was likely fueled by the film's unconventional tone and Cruise's unrecognizable appearance in the trailer. However, sources close to the production have confirmed that the movie is not a musical, and were amused by the online speculation.

## Why it matters The release of 'Digger' on October 2 is highly anticipated, and the clarification about the movie's genre will likely come as a relief to fans who were unsure what to expect. While 'Digger' may not be a musical, it promises to be a unique and unconventional film, given its satirical dark comedy tone and Cruise's transformation into his character.

The movie's marketing campaign has been careful not to reveal too much about the plot, which has only added to the speculation and intrigue surrounding the film. With its talented cast and acclaimed director, 'Digger' is shaping up to be one of the most interesting releases of the year.
