Actually, We Have to Talk About Tom Cruise’s ‘Digger’
All the trailers for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s new movie starring Tom Cruise looked insanely weird and intriguing but exhibited none of the characteristics of a film we’d cover on io9. As wild and over-the-top as everything seemed, at its heart, Digger looked like a movie about a billionaire whose oil company was about to end the world. And to do so, we’re going to get into some massive spoilers.

All the trailers for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s new movie starring Tom Cruise looked insanely weird and intriguing but exhibited none of the characteristics of a film we’d cover on io9. As wild and over-the-top as everything seemed, at its heart, Digger looked like a movie about a billionaire whose oil company was about to end the world. An all-too-real scenario. All science, no fiction. All reality, no…
