‘Spider-Man’ and ‘Melancholia’ actress Kirsten Dunst (below) has joined the cast of Jeff Nichols’ new sci-fi project ‘Midnight Special’. The 31-year old actress signs up alongside fellow castmates Michael Shannon (‘Man of Steel’) and Joel Edgerton (‘The Thing’) but the specific details of her role on the feature at this time is unknown. This will be the second team up between director Nichols and star Shannon whom previously worked together on drama thriller ‘Take Shelter’. The movie is set around a father (played by Shannon) and his eight-year-old son who go on the run when they discover that the boy has special powers…’Looper’ anyone!? Hopefully there’ll be more on this project soon.
