The Internet Thinks So!</strong></p><p>A fan theory has taken off online suggesting Tom Cruise's upcoming film <em>Digger</em> might secretly be a musical. Writer Jason Pargin sparked the theory with a viral tweet compiling trailer clips as \"evidence,\" which gained traction with over 42,000 views/engagements. The article notes the clips do feature an unusual number of sweeping camera angles, overwrought gestures, and dramatic flourishes (including a literal split) that resemble musical dance numbers, and other users pointed out that films like <em>Sweeney Todd</em>, <em>Wonka</em>, and <em>Mean Girls</em> similarly concealed their musical elements in marketing. Ultimately, the author concludes <em>Digger</em> is probably not an actual musical — the eccentric clips likely just reflect how bizarre and over-the-top Cruise's performance as an oil tycoon is in this film — but plays along with the fun of the theory, joking that if it <em>were</em> a musical, it might rank among the best movies ever made. <em>Digger</em> releases in theaters on October 2.</p><p>Visit&nbsp; <a href=\"https://nerdist.com/article/is-digger-a-musical-internet-theory/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://nerdist.com/article/is-digger-a-musical-internet-theory/</a>&nbsp; to read or listen to the article.</p><p><br></p><p>Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player) </p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Instaread"}
