20 Recent Movie Rumours That Were Total BULL
18. It's A Musical - Digger
The Rumour:
Following the release of the final trailer for Tom Cruise's new satire Digger, a popular theory began doing the rounds online that the film was actually a secret musical.
The "evidence" for this? The presence of some distinctly stagey, theatrical imagery in the trailer, prompting some to believe that Warner Bros. was effectively trying to conceal the musical element in their marketing considering the genre's uneven box office track record as of late.
The Truth:
No, Digger is not a musical, as Variety confirmed with their sources a few weeks ahead of the movie's recent release, and Cruise himself even attempted to shut the rumour down while on the press tour.
While the film does have a substantial theatrical component, the particulars of which can't really be discussed without spoiling its biggest and most divisive sleight of hand, it isn't a music-centric movie.
