Bob Odenkirk To Star In Action Flick ‘Normal’ From Director Ben Wheatley

[Cremildo]

Emmy Award winner Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) has re-teamed with Nobody writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick franchise) on a new action pic titled Normal, with Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench, Free Fire, High Rise) set as director. WME Independent will launch sales at the upcoming European Film market.

The script, written by Kolstad (John Wick franchise, Nobody), 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.  +

Okay. This has got to be Wheatley's big break! After Rebecca and The Meg 2 I think this is more up his alley and likely to win everyone over.

Loved Nobody. I'm down for more.

Seems like a good combo, Free Fire proved Wheatley can do action and comedy really well.

We need an action film with Bob Odenkirk, and Keanu together.

That plot synopsis, especially the bit about 'the entire town being in on it' reminds me of:
