“A father and son go on the run after the dad learns his child possesses special powers.”
Midnight Special is very much an under-the-radar film but it actually includes an impressive cast including Adam Driver, Kirsten Dunst, Michael Shannon, and Joel Edgerton. It is directed and written by Jeff Nichols who also directed the hit independent film MUD. According to Nichols, Midnight Special which was completed in just 40 days, was written as a reflection of him becoming a father. Regardless of why the film came to fruition in the first place, it looks pretty good. Check out the trailer below.
