Tom Cruise’s Digger is not a musical
The Musical Myth: Tom Cruise’s “Digger” Secretly Not a Musical
Internet rumor mills spun wildly this week, convincing a legion of online detectives that Tom Cruise’s upcoming motion picture, “Digger,” was actually a secretly planned cinematic musical. The speculation built up rapidly following the release of the film’s final trailer, sparking an intense debate among fans and gossip enthusiasts about the potential musical elements lurking beneath the surface.
But when the real sources finally spoke, the grand musical theory quickly dissolved into comedy.
When Variety sat down with two insiders who were familiar with the production process, they confirmed that the notion of “Digger” being a full-blown movie musical was entirely unfounded.
While they were clearly amused by the sheer dedication of the internet sleuths, the response was a firm, yet lighthearted, denial of the musical premise. It seems that while the fans were ready for a showstopper, the reality was simply a blockbuster film.
The buzz confirms that sometimes, the most entertaining theories are just that—theories—and the production team was clearly enjoying the unexpected attention surrounding the project.
