The ‘Midnight Special’ Trailer Shows Us a Different Kind of Superhero Film
We’ve been living in a renaissance of Superhero films these last few years, but Jeff Nichols’s Midnight Special puts a very different spin on this sort of story. Starring Sam Shepard, Kristen Dunst, Adam Driver, Joel Edgerton, and (General Zod himself) Michael Shannon, the movie is about a boy (played by Jaeden Lieberher) who ends up with extraordinary powers and the consequences that follow.
It’s a very different tone than most of the films we’ve seen in the genre (if you can even include it), and at the very least the trailer is definitely worth watching.
Midnight Special comes to theaters March 18, 2016.
