First Clip from Sci-Fi Thriller Midnight Special
February 8th, 2016This brief clip makes me excited for this upcoming sci-fi film called Midnight Special. The movie is from director Jeff Nichols (Mud, Take Shelter) and stars Michael Shannon, Adam Driver, Sam Shepard, Kirsten Dunst, and Joel Edgerton. It really looks amazing so far. It has that old school Spielberg vibe and I get the feeling this movie might be a very special one. It was clearly inspired by films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Starman. I love the vibe of this film already.
This clip shows Michael Shannon’s character being overprotective of a young boy wearing goggles, when a bunch of fireballs or maybe UFOs show up in the night sky above. Midnight Special will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival next week and then be released in theaters on March 18th. I’m definitely interested.
