The actor said he values this type of creative process and believes understanding the story deeply helps build stronger collaborations between filmmakers and performers.
With a fresh genre direction and a team of acclaimed talents, Digger is expected to showcase a different side of Cruise’s acting career.
The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters on October 2, bringing together two major names known for their commitment to storytelling.
