Midnight Special - Trailer 1 [HD]

In theaters March 18, 2016!

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.

“Midnight Special” stars Oscar nominee Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver, Jaeden Lieberher and Oscar nominee Sam Shepard. Rounding out the main cast are Bill Camp, Scott Haze and Paul Sparks.

Jeff Nichols directs from his own screenplay.

Sarah Green and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, who previously collaborated with Nichols on his critically acclaimed thriller “Take Shelter” are producing the film, with Glen Basner, Hans Graffunder, and Christos V. Konstantakopoulos serving as executive producers.

Also reuniting with Nichols behind the scenes is director of photography Adam Stone, production designer Chad Keith and editor Julie Monroe. David Wingo is composing the score.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Faliro House Productions, a Tri-State Production: “Midnight Special.” The film is set for release on March 18, 2016, and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

The kid's condition is from seeing too many J.J Abrams lens flares.

*Looks at comments and find stuff that has nothing to do with the trailer.*

Seriously, I might be one of the few who is writing about the trailer itself. Speaking of which, I loved this trailer and after Mud and (the unfortunately overlooked) Take Shelter, director Jeff Nichols is giving us one hell of another movie! Looking forward to it!

[MayorMcCheese]

This was a really good movie. Jeff Nichols is an amazing storyteller and director. If you liked Taking Shelter you'll definitely like this movie.

[TylerMyers]

This has the feel of an 89's Spielberg Sci-fi adventure, and it being helmed by the great Jeff Nichols? Count me in!

[GeorgeNichols]

The tone of this film remind me of throwback films like E.T., Cocoon and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I really want to see this.
