Digger: Wild Musical Theory About Tom Cruise Movie Debunked
Variety said two production sources confirmed the film is not a musical, despite fan theories fueled by trailer details and a viral thread.
- Internet sleuths were convinced this week that Tom Cruise's upcoming movie "Digger" is a secret musical, with author Jason Pargin popularizing the "Cruisical" theory on Thursday and prompting fans to analyze trailers for hidden clues.
- Fans pointed to courtroom scenes featuring rotating platforms similar to Broadway sets in "Hamilton" and "Hadestown", fueling speculation that Warner Bros was hiding a musical twist in the marketing.
- Variety spoke with two sources familiar with the production, who said "Digger" is not a movie musical but an absurdist, satirical black comedy directed by Alejandro, starring Cruise as the powerful character Digger Rockwell.
- While the "Cruisical" theory captured social media attention, production insiders confirmed no secret song-and-dance numbers exist in the film, which features Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Emma.
- Audiences will discover the truth when "Digger" arrives in theaters and IMAX nationwide on Oct 2, following Cruise's comments that he joined the project after Alejandro read him the script aloud over several days.
