Hollywood director Alejandro G. Iñárritu's new film 'Digger' is generating excitement among domestic movie fans, especially with news of the director and key cast visiting South Korea. The film, set to be released on October 3, tells the story of a quirky billionaire, Digger Rockwell, whose small crack at a glacier drilling facility in Greenland leads to a catastrophic disaster that shakes the world.
Ahead of the release, the distributor unveiled two behind-the-scenes stills on September 22, showcasing the unique visuals crafted by Iñárritu and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. The stills capture the crew's meticulous craftsmanship in creating the film's distinctive mood and grand scale.
One still highlights the filming of actors' emotional performances against a vintage greenhouse set. Another still features Iñárritu passionately directing in a bunker meeting room filled with numerous actors. The intense atmosphere and unique dynamics among the characters suggest a high level of cinematic quality.
The anticipation for 'Digger' is heightened by the involvement of Emmanuel Lubezki, a renowned cinematographer who has won three consecutive Academy Awards for his work on 'Gravity,' 'Birdman,' and 'The Revenant.' Known for delivering extraordinary visual experiences, Lubezki collaborates with Iñárritu once again to create a unique and fluid mise-en-scène. Their previous successful collaborations have set high expectations for the film's visuals.
Adding to the excitement, Iñárritu and the main production team will visit South Korea for promotional events leading up to the film's release. They are scheduled to hold a press conference and a red carpet event in Seoul at the end of September, allowing them to connect directly with Korean fans. This visit is particularly meaningful, as Iñárritu has previously expressed a deep affection for the Korean film market.
With the perfect synergy of masterful directors and the upcoming promotional tour, 'Digger' is poised to become one of the most talked-about films in theaters this fall, set to premiere nationwide on October 3.
