You may watch below a brand new trailer of Midnight Special, the upcoming adventure drama science-fiction movie directed by Jeff Nichols:
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
This Spring.
He’s not like us. Find out why!
34.1768, 118.3523
“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.”
There are also two new posters:
Is the boy a mutant of some kind? Or is he the result of alien DNA manipulations? What do you think?
The film is starring Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver, Jaeden Lieberher, Sam Shepard, Bill Camp, Scott Haze and Paul Sparks.
Release date: March 18, 2016.
Update – About those coordinates at the end of of this trailer of Midnight Special:
– I searched the coordinates 34.1768, 118.3523 in Google Map but it leads to some lost place in China, so I was confused.
– But then LordObama, a clever fellow movie fan over at IMDb, pointed out that we should actually search for 34.1768, -118.3523. And the corrected coordinates points to someone’s backyard in Burbank, California.
– Warner bros does have a big facility in Burbank. But I still fail to see the connection with the film.
– I also learned that a late-night musical variety series that aired on NBC during the 1970s and called “The Midnight Special” was produced in the Burbank Studios (formerly known as NBC Studios).
And I then stumbled upon a song performed by Genesis at the show: “watcher of the skies” and the lyrics could be related to the film, not sure.
Any idea?
