Warner Bros. has uploaded a second trailer for the sci-fi thriller Midnight Special [MNSPL] written and directed by Jeff Nichols [JENIC]. Michael Shannon [MISHA] stars as a father trying to protect his young son who has 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.
After premiering to positive buzz at Berlinale, Midnight Special opens in theaters on March 18th.
