Tom Cruise‘s love for cinema has been well-documented — from his high-stakes stunts promoting the “Mission: Impossible” movies to his trips to the theater to support the latest blockbusters like Steven Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day,” Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” and the pop culture phenomenon known as “Barbenheimer.”
But there’s no greater evidence of Cruise’s love of the art form than the varied roles he’s played over the years.
On Tuesday, the movie star posted a retrospective clip spotlighting some of his greatest roles, from action-packed blockbusters like “Top Gun” and “Edge of Tomorrow,” to his dramatic turns in “Rain Man” and “Born on the Fourth of July,” and crowd-pleasing classics like “Risky Business” and “Jerry Maguire.”
“For the last 46 years, it has been my privilege to work alongside countless talented artists and crews to create these characters, stories, and films for you all,” Cruise wrote in the caption of his post. “I’m looking forward to seeing you at the movies!”
The clip ends with a sneak peek at Cruise’s latest film, “Digger,” from filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu, which features one of his greatest transformations yet — to become Digger Rockwell.
Cruise sports a thick Southern accent, a beer belly and thinning white hair (fashioned in an unconvincing combover) to play the oil baron whose company may have set off an ecological disaster that could also spark a nuclear war. John Goodman portrays an ailing U.S. president who implores Cruise’s character to fix the mess he’s unleashed. Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons also star in the Warner Bros. film, described as a “comedy of catastrophic proportions.”
The trailer for “Digger” will be released on July 13, with the film debuting in theaters on October 2.
Reboot Studios Announces Filmmaking Expansion Aimed to Uplift Jewish Storytelling
Reboot Studios, the production arm of the nonprofit Reboot co-founded by Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, has announced an expansion into feature filmmaking with its 2026 Creator Fund slate, which spans narrative and documentary film, theater, audio, and interactive media.
Reboot Studios’ first original feature, “Juice Cleanse,” a horror-comedy about a Mizrahi Jewish girl recovering from an eating disorder, from director Shoshana Ehrenkranz and writer/producer Jonathan Mizrahi, will anchor the slate. The lineup also includes “Keeping Up with the Siegfrieds,” which explores the buried legacy of America’s largest Nazi movement.
Further additions to the lineup include short film “Saba,” about a boy and his grandfather living in a surreal world where gravity is reversed; “Father Figures,” a personal documentary about a daughter reconnecting with her emotionally distant father; and “Triple Mitvah,” set during Rosh Hashanah, when a married lesbian couple invites an escort to spend the weekend with them.
Other titles include “Deadclass, Ohio,” which explores intergenerational memory and inherited trauma in a Jewish graveyard in suburban Ohio; “The Goldsmith,” about a first generation American through the stories of the golden jewelry passed down through her family, from Iraq to Israel to America; “Alef Bet,” a podcast that explores the evolving practices of Jewish life through the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet; and “Normandie,” a documentary video game that follows a salvage crew diving the wrecks of transatlantic liners after World War II.
Reboot Studios’ 2026 slate aims to respond to both creator demand and to a shifting media landscape in which it can help shape a new generation of Jewish storytelling.
