What's left behind the scenes
- On the first day of filming Midnight Special, Adam Driver learned that he had been cast as Kyle Ren in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). Information according to director Jeff Nichols.
- Jeff Nichols wrote the screenplay for the film while becoming a father.
- This is the fourth film by Jeff Nichols featuring Michael Shannon.
- In 2016, two films by Jeff Nichols were released – Midnight Special and Loving, starring Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga, and Michael Shannon.
- Jeff Nichols wanted to handle the editing himself, so he assumed it would be better for him to work with an independent studio than with Warner Bros Pictures. He only informed the studio's negotiators of this at the final meeting. Because the film's budget was quite modest, Warner Bros Pictures did not object and allowed him to carry out his intentions.
- Jeff Nichols' first project with a major film studio.
- Joel Edgerton and Adam Driver starred in films from the Star Wars franchise. Edgerton played Owen Lars, Luke Skywalker's uncle, in George Lucas's Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), while Driver appeared as Kylo Ren in J.J. Abrams's Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015).
- The eighth joint project for actors Michael Shannon and Paul Sparks. They previously appeared together in Adam Rapp's Blackbird (2007), Noah Buschel's Nebraska (2009), Lisa Johnson's Return (2011), Mud (2012), and Jeff Nichols's Midnight Special (2016), in the HBO television series Boardwalk Empire (2010-2014), and in the theatrical productions Lady (2008) and The Killer (2014).
- Kirsten Dunst filmed without makeup.
- The poster depicts a child reading Superman comics. In one scene of the film, the character played by Jayden Lieberher asks: “What is kryptonite?” His father is played by Michael Shannon, who starred as General Zod in Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” (2013) about Superman and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (2016).
- One of the comics that Elton is reading is “The New Teen Titans” from DC Comics, issue #1 (1982 or a later reprint). The cover depicts a battle between Starfire and Blackfire.
