Since the project was finalized, “Digger” has caused quite a stir on the Internet.

Tasked with one of the most challenging feats of his life, this millionaire takes it upon himself to prove that he is, in fact, the savior of mankind.John Goodman, who plays the President of the United States in the film, plays his role well in the trailer, saying, “The backhoes got us in, and the backhoes are going to dig us out again.” The rest of the trailer suggests that one big answer to stopping the disaster is to drop bombs on the glacier.
