Ben Affleck has defended Tom Cruise’s critically divisive new film Digger, warning the public celebration of its box office failure risks discouraging Hollywood studios from taking creative chances and could leave audiences facing a succession of “s***** homogenized movies”.
The 54-year-old actor and director, best known for Good Will Hunting, Argo and his portrayal of Batman in the DC superhero films, spoke out after Digger, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, 63, reportedly suffered substantial financial losses following its release on 2 October.
