Earlier this week, the teaser trailer for Digger, a movie directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, who is best known for The Revenant and Birdman, was released on YouTube and other social media platforms. Tom is the lead character, and, according to the movie's promotional poster, it will be a "comedy of catastrophic proportions" that is set to be released this upcoming October.
