Midnight Special is an upcoming American science fiction film written and directed by Jeff Nichols. The film stars Adam Driver,[1] Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, and Kirsten Dunst. It is Nichols' fourth feature film, and his first studio production.[2]

Nichols has described Midnight Special as a "sci-fi chase film". He stated, "However absurd that sounds, it’s more grounded than Mud. I really wanted to make a 1980s John Carpenter film like Starman. I love the way those films look."[3]
