Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) has signed on to star in a new action movie that comes from a script by Nobody and John Wick writer Derek Kolstad. The new film is titled Normal, and Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench, Free Fire, High Rise) is set to direct. I should point out this this film is not a sequel to Nobody.
The movie follows “Ulysses (Odenkirk), who is thrust into the temporary role of the sheriff for the small sleepy town Normal after the previous one’s untimely death. When the town’s bank is robbed by an out-of-town couple, Ulysses arrives on the scene to find that the town is hiding much more sinister deep-seated secrets under its surface and everyone – from the bartender to the priest – is in on it. And now Ulysses, who’s up-till-now focused only on running away from the demons of his past, must uncover the full extent of this criminal conspiracy.”
This sounds like it’ll make for a fun action flick! Marc Provissiero (Nobody, No Hard Feelings), Odenkirk and Kolstad will produce. It’ll be cool to see Odenkirk in another action movie, I really enjoyed him in Nobody. Then you’ve got the creative team of Kolstad and Wheatley, which will take the movie to an unhinged level.
