Twenty Films To Look Forward To In 2015
You're gonna spend a looot of time looking at screens this year.
Midnight Special
Director: Jeff Nichols
Starring: Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Michael Shannon
Released: November 26
I adored Jeff Nichols’ last two films Take Shelter and Mud. This sci-fi chase thriller follows a father and son fleeing government officials after learning the kid has supernatural powers. The story seems to promise the mingled paranoia and wonder of films including Starman (which Nichols has cited as an influence), Escape to Witch Mountain and ET, but with less Spielbergian schmaltz. Nichols regular Michael Shannon returns, alongside Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Adam Driver and Sam Shepard.
