Midnight Special has a rather oversimplified premise that it’s just about a father and son who go on the run after the dad learns his child possesses special powers.
In fact, the son turns into Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation and shoots lasers out of his bloody eyes! However, that’s the only interesting about this trailer. Perhaps he’s really Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still??
Directed and written by Jeff Nichols (Mud), the others getting caught up in
this mess are Joel Edgerton, Adam Driver, Michael Shannon, Sam Shepard and Kirsten Dunst, who was otherwise doing so well in Fargo.
If you care, then Midnight Special is unleased in the UK on April 15th 2016.
