[Trailer] Jeff Nichols Unleashes a ‘Midnight Special’

Having special powers would be pretty sweet, right? But, with such power comes great responsibilities, as is the case with Jeff Nichols’ latest flick, Midnight Special. The film is a sci-fi/thriller, which looks pretty dark in parts, and it kinda gives off an almost Steven Spielberg vibe, which is never a bad thing. So, Warner Bros., have just unleashed the new official trailer and we have that for you below along with a slew of images.

The film stars Joel Edgerton, Adam Driver, Kirsten Dunst, Michael Shannon, Jaeden Lieberher, Sam Shepard, Bill Camp, Scott Haze, and Paul Sparks.

Synopsis: In the sci-fi thriller “Midnight Special,” writer/director Jeff Nichols proves again that he is one of the most compelling storytellers of our time, as a father (Michael Shannon), goes on the run to protect his young son, Alton (Jaeden Lieberher), and uncover the truth behind the boy’s special powers.

What starts as a race from religious extremists and local law enforcement quickly escalates to a nationwide manhunt involving the highest levels of the Federal Government. Ultimately his father risks everything to protect Alton and help fulfill a destiny that could change the world forever, in this genre–defying film as supernatural as it is intimately human.
