The original starred James Caan as the human bull , forced to team up up with an alien ( Homeland ’s Mandy Patinkin ) , who is fight to take in to Earth . Using that human relationship the motion-picture show , and subsequent telecasting show , explored societal return such as racism .
Though Midnight Special is the big film Nichols has done , he ’s best known for his pocket-sized stuff . He made Mud with Matthew McConaughey , Take Shelter with Michael Shannon , and has an Oscar rival this year with Loving , starring Preacher ’s Ruth Negga .
Alien Nation is a brand that ’s mostly fleet aside from the public witting , but the idea rest incredibly well-timed : A mathematical group of noncitizen collapse state on Earth and do their best to peacefully conjoin human society , but face a large wad of prejudice and concern . It ’s no wonder Fox has been try on to resurrect itfor a few age now . Happily , in Nichols they found a filmmaker perfect to delicately search that with a innovative twisting .
