The trailer for an interesting film collaboration has just been released: Tom Cruise plays the titular lead role in Alejandro G. Iñárritu&s "Digger."  However, he is barely recognizable, except perhaps by his facial expressions, as the billionaire Digger Rockwell is significantly older—wrinkled and pot-bellied, with thinning, gray hair. He is responsible for an impending ecological catastrophe and may still be able to avert it.
While AI in Hollywood is primarily used for (de-)aging, where it seemingly accelerates or reverses aging processes at the push of a button, this script might have been realized using digital means in other hands. But with Tom Cruise, we have a man in front of the camera whose trademark is performing his own dangerous stunts, and who has already proven his versatility in  many films. And so, classic methods were used to transform him—the credit list for "Digger" includes over 30 names in the make-up department, including wig makers and prosthetic artists. Alessandro Bertolazzi was apparently the lead for the make-up design.  According to Iñárritu, Tom Cruise was the dream casting for this film. In the dark satire ("a comedy of catastrophic proportions"), the actor seemingly has plenty of room to bring out his crazier side. Emmanuel Lubezki, who has served as cinematographer for almost all of Iñárritu&s films, is once again responsible for the visuals. This time, he is reportedly using an older 1954 model (35mm/VistaVision) with specially adapted, wide-angle vintage Leica lenses. Unfortunately, it will be a while until the premiere, as the film does not hit theaters until October 1st.  �more infos at bei www.motionpictures.orgdeutsche Version dieser Seite: Tom Cruise faltig und dick in Iñárritus "Digger"-Satire |
