Genre-defying film “Midnight Special” is as supernatural as it is human

MS-02

Take for your first look at the newly-released images from Warner Bros. Pictures’ new sci-fi thriller “Midnight Special,” from acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols.

In the film, 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

Midnight Special” stars Oscar nominee Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road,” “Man of Steel”), Joel Edgerton (“Black Mass”), Kirsten Dunst (TV’s “Fargo”), Adam Driver (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) Jaeden Lieberher (“St. Vincent,” TV’s “Masters of Sex”) and Oscar nominee Sam Shepard (“August Osage County”). Rounding out the main cast are Bill Camp (“Lincoln”), Scott Haze (“As I Lay Dying”) and Paul Sparks (“HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”).

Jeff Nichols (“Mud,” “Take Shelter”) directed the film from his own screenplay. Sarah Green (“The Tree of Life”) and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (“Insidious: Chapter 2,” “Sinister”), who previously collaborated with Nichols on his critically acclaimed thriller “Take Shelter” are producing the film, with Glen Basner (“Mud”), Hans Graffunder (“Somebody Up There Likes Me”), and Christos V.
