The stupidly talented Riz Ahmed has recently spoken out about the wonders he’s witnessed while on the set of Digger, the new film from director Alejandro G. Iñárritu. After putting together unthinkable projects like one-take wonder, Birdman, and the beautifully bleak western, The Revenant, the director’s new film is a wild and completely original tale, which is a rarity for Cruise, who hasn’t told an original non-IP-based story in over ten years.
Digger follows Cruise as the man responsible for unleashing a disaster upon the world, and does everything he can to redeem himself and prove that he’s humanity’s savior, not its destroyer. In a recent interview with Collider, Ahmed tried to keep things hush-hush about what’s in store, but did recall his brain regularly being scrambled by the level of dedication his screen partner brought to set.
