I’m really excited! Bob Odenkirk, who was amazing in Better Call Saul and starred in the action movie Nobody, is going to be back kicking butt in a new crime thriller. Even better, it’s from the same person who created the John Wick movies, and we finally know when it’s coming out! It’s great to see him doing more action – he’s surprisingly good at it!
I just got word from Deadline that Magnolia Pictures is going all-in on Ben Wheatley’s new film, Normal. They’re planning a huge release – over 2,000 theaters – on April 17, 2026, which is massive for them. And the premise sounds wild! Bob Odenkirk stars as a sheriff in a seemingly peaceful town called, appropriately enough, Normal. But things quickly go south when a robbery unravels a seriously dark secret, turning the town into a full-blown warzone. Apparently, Odenkirk’s sheriff ends up fighting for his life against everyone – his deputies, and even the Yakuza! The script is by Derek Kolstad, the guy behind John Wick, so you know it’s going to be action-packed. This one definitely has my attention.
Normal premiered earlier this year at the Toronto International Film Festival to widespread praise from critics, garnering an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 23 reviews. In addition to Odenkirk, the cast features Henry Winkler, Lena Headey, Ryan Allen, Billy MacLellan, Brendan Fletcher, Peter Shinkoda and Jess McLeod. Read the official synopsis:
Sheriff Ulysses (Bob Odenkirk) hoped a temporary assignment to the peaceful town of Normal would offer a break from trouble with his marriage and the trauma he experienced on the job. However, when a failed bank robbery shakes things up, a dark secret comes to light, revealing that Normal isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Soon, everyone – even his own deputies – is trying to harm him, and Ulysses must team up with an unlikely group of criminals to make it through the night. And to make matters worse, the Yakuza are also involved.
