One of the more intriguing films that is landing this spring is Jeff Nichols’ Midnight Special. Want proof? Check out the newly released trailer by Warner Bros. that finds the Take Shelter director re-teaming with his leading actor, who can do no wrong in our books, Michael Shannon.
The film from the writer-director (who also gave us the stunner Mud) follows a father (Shannon) who hits the road to protect his son Alton (Jaeden Lieberher). His boy has special powers that cannot be explained. Yet, the government would love to get their hands on the youngster to discover what makes him tick. Daddy will do anything to prevent that from happening.
As you can see from the above trailer, the film has a powerful cast including Star Wars: The Force Awakens baddie Adam Driver, Joel Edgerton, Kristen Dunst and Sam Shepard.
Midnight Special commences as a father trying to keep his son away from religious zealots and local law enforcement, and rapidly turns into a race against time where father and son tries to outsmart and outrace the federal government.
