Knew it would happen. figured we'd have seen something by now otherwise.

Why would WB slot their own Sci-Fi movie a week before BvS, unless they are planning a slow rollout. Makes no sense.

Great scheduling by WB here They will probably dump it.

Mud and Take Shelter director Jeff Nichols is keeping his next film, Midnight Special, as mysterious as possible. The little we know is this: the film stars Michael Shannon and Kirsten Dunst as the parents of young son (Jaeden Lieberher) who is supernaturally gifted. When the nature of those gifts is publicly revealed, the family is forced to go on the run from religious extremists and local law enforcement. The film is also backed by an excellent supporting cast, including Adam Driver, Joel Edgerton, and Sam Shepard.

Sounds good. I really like Nichols' past films and the cast is great. Looking forward to it.

So they are treating this like a sleeper hit? I really like the premise.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Looks decent but the release date doesn't give confidence.

This releases a week after another lower budget sci-fi movie with no big stars which will follow a similar mystery box marketing approach, Bad Robot's Valencia. The trailer was good but reminded me of Super 8 a lot.

[DAJK]

That trailer just felt like a nonevent.  bu I really want this to be good.

[acab]

I think it looks great. I love the atmosphere it's creating.

[Blankments]

Got the trailer at Room. 

 

Looks fantastic; don't fail me now, Nichols!

[DAJK]

Got the trailer at 5th Wave. Even on the big screen, I'm starting to lose my interest.

[Ethan Hunt]

This looks neat to me

[AniNate]

All I think of watching the trailer for this is M83's Midnight City video
