Hollywood superstar George Clooney returns as director with the self-starring sci-fi drama, The Midnight Sky. Opening up on the film, screenwriter Mark L. Smith says it is bizarre how the storyline feels similar to the current pandemic crisis.

The film co-stars Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Tiffany Boone, Demian Bichir and Kyle Chandler, and is based on Lily Brooks-Dalton's novel, Good Morning, Midnight. The story has themes of isolation, loneliness, human connection and a natural disaster, all of which are relevant in a Covid-ridden world.
