Midnight Special is a sci-fi chase movie serving as a slight throwback to ’80s Amblin movies like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The film’s crew (writer/director Jeff Nichols and stars Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, and Kirsten Dunst) talk about embracing the mystery behind Special, why you should watch it without seeing trailers, and how gas station bathrooms are the best place in changing one’s identity.
