“Digger” Reportedly Ducking Venice Film Festival

Two or three days ago Jeff “Insneider” Sneider posted an “uh-oh” reaction to a research screening of Alejandro G. Inarritu and Tom Cruise‘s Digger (Warner Bros., 10.2.26).

I don’t think it’s fair to post research screening opinions unless you have at least two (2) sources or reports, and even then you should always advise that said opinions are hardly absolute or definitive.

That said, the Sneider reaction suggested that (a) the film may not be quite what it needs to be or (b) the person who coughed up this reaction may not be an especially sharp or perceptive person…who knows?

But when I read the Andreas Weisman Deadline report that planted a notion that Digger isn’t likely to debut at any of the early fall film festivals (Venice. Telluride, Toronto)…when I read this on top of the Sneider thing, I went “aahh, okay, I see…maybe.”
