Details about the film's plot remain closely guarded, but the early footage was enough to generate significant buzz among industry insiders in attendance, with many noting the apparent chemistry and comedic timing on display.
Warner Bros. has yet to announce an official release date for 'Digger,' but the CinemaCon showcase suggests the studio is positioning the film as a significant entry in its upcoming slate.
