Emma D’Arcy is trying to keep things professional… but Digger isn’t exactly making it easy.

We caught up with Emma at the Digger world premiere in London, where they told us about playing Lina, Digger Rockwell’s long-suffering assistant, opposite a completely transformed Tom Cruise.

Emma explains how Lina starts out deeply committed to doing her job properly, despite the increasingly ridiculous circumstances around her - before getting dragged further and further into Digger’s brilliantly bizarre world.

They also talk about stepping into Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s extraordinary new film and what it was like working alongside Tom Cruise. Report by Jonesl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

00:00You only get cinematic kind of epics like this, you know, once every decade or so.
00:04Let's talk about being with this guy and working with him on set on a hand day.
00:09Does it ever get normal?
00:11Well, it's hard, right? Because it's mad to work with someone whose work and, you know, face and brilliance you've
00:21kind of grown up with.
00:21But as I'm sure you've, like, encountered, Tom is an incredibly disarming person and he locks in with all of
00:31his cast members, all of his team members.
00:35And so I don't know if normal is the right word, but certainly collaborative and one of the most rewarding
00:43on set experiences I've ever had.
00:45Let's talk about your character. How do they fit into the world of Digger?
00:48So I play Lena, who is Digger's long-suffering assistant.
00:53I think she's deeply professional. I think she's sort of committed to professionalism, but is trying to do her job
01:03in increasingly ridiculous circumstances.
01:06Yeah, and as such becomes kind of increasingly ridiculous.
01:09And why should people see this on the biggest screen and get to the cinema?
01:13Because this is filmmaking at the highest level, on the biggest scale. It's an absolute order force by Alejandro.
01:21I would say no one's making work like him. And, yeah, and we should, you only get cinematic kind of
01:29epics like this, you know, once every decade or so.
01:33Thank you very much.
01:33Thanks a lot.
