At Warner Bros.' CinemaCon presentation, Tom Cruise and director Alejandro G. Iñárritu showed the first footage of Digger and received a standing ovation. The footage uses heavy prosthetic makeup to transform Cruise into an elderly Digger Rockwell, making him nearly unrecognizable. Iñárritu's darkly comic adventure satire casts Cruise as a man WHO must save the world after causing a disaster and assembles an all-star ensemble. Pairing Cruise with Oscar-winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu signals a notable shift from Cruise's usual action roles and frames Digger as a high-profile awards-season contender.
