Tom Cruise marks 46 years of film career with retrospective and never-before-seen details about ‘Digger’
Tom Cruise’s appreciation for the seventh art is widely known. His passion manifests itself both in audacious stunts to promote the “Mission: Impossible” franchise and in his visits to movie theaters to honor blockbuster releases such as Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day,” Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” and the cultural phenomenon “Barbenheimer.”
There is, however, no more striking demonstration of Cruise’s fervor for the cinematic universe than the diversity of characters he embodied throughout his career.
This Tuesday, the renowned actor released a commemorative video, revisiting some of his most iconic roles, ranging from action-packed box office hits such as “Top Gun” and “The Edge of Tomorrow”, to dramatic performances in “Rain Man” and “Born on the 4th of July”, and critically acclaimed classics such as “Risky Business” and “Jerry Maguire”.
In his post, Cruise expressed, “Over the past 46 years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside countless talented artists and teams to create these characters, stories, and films for you. I look forward to seeing them in theaters!”
New film ‘Digger’ promises surprising transformation for Tom Cruise
The video culminates with a preview of “Digger,” Cruise’s latest film project, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The production reveals one of his most significant physical and interpretative transformations, in which he assumes the persona of Digger Rockwell.
In the film, Tom Cruise plays an oil tycoon, sporting a strong southern accent, a prominent belly and sparse white hair, in an unusual style for the actor. The plot unfolds around your company, which may have precipitated an ecological disaster capable of triggering a nuclear war. John Goodman plays an ailing US president who begs Cruise’s character to remedy the catastrophe he himself brought about. The stellar cast also includes Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg and Jesse Plemons in this Warner Bros. film, classified as a “comedy of catastrophic proportions”.
The release of the official trailer for “Digger” is scheduled for July 13th, while the film will premiere in theaters on October 2nd.

Reboot Studios announces expansion into film productions
Reboot Studios, the production arm of the non-profit organization Reboot, co-founded by Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, announced the expansion of its activities to include the production of feature films. The initiative is part of the 2026 Creator Fund, which encompasses fiction, documentary, theater, audio and interactive media projects, with a focus on valuing the Jewish narrative.
The flagship of the slate will be Reboot Studios’ first original feature film, “Juice Cleanse,” a horror comedy about a young Mizrahi Jewish woman in recovery from an eating disorder, directed by Shoshana Ehrenkranz and written/produced by Jonathan Mizrahi. The programming also includes “Keeping Up with the Siegfrieds,” which investigates the hidden legacy of America’s largest Nazi movement.
Among other additions to the list of productions, the short film “Saba” stands out, which tells the story of a boy and his grandfather in a surreal world of inverted gravity; “Father Figures,” a personal documentary about a daughter who seeks to reconnect with her emotionally distant father; and “Triple Mitzvah,” set during Rosh Hashanah, where a married lesbian couple invites a date for the weekend.
The list also features titles such as “Deadclass, Ohio,” which explores intergenerational memory and inherited trauma in a suburban Ohio Jewish cemetery; “The Goldsmith,” about a first-generation American told through the gold jewelry passed down through her family, from Iraq to Israel to the United States; “Alef Bet,” a podcast that investigates the evolutionary practices of Jewish life through the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet; and “Normandie”, a documentary video game that follows a rescue team diving into the wreckage of ocean liners after World War II.
Reboot Studios’ programming for 2026 seeks to respond to both the growing demand from creators and the ever-changing media landscape, with the aim of shaping a new generation of Jewish narratives.
