Trailer for Ben Wheatley-directed action thriller Normal starring Bob Odenkirk

December 15, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

The first trailer has landed online for Normal, the upcoming action thriller from director Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench) and writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick).

Bob Odenkirk stars as a temporary Sheriff in the small town of Normal, who finds himself the target of its citizens – including his own police deputies – when a sordid secret is exposed during a botched bank robbery. Joining Odenkirk in the cast are Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. Check out the trailer below…

For Sheriff Ulysses (Bob Odenkirk), his provisional posting to the quaint Midwestern American town of Normal was meant to be a welcome respite from both his marital woes and recent moral injuries in the line of duty. But when a botched bank robbery interrupts the municipality’s tranquil pace, a sordid secret is inadvertently exposed and Ulysses learns that the town is anything but its namesake. Suddenly everyone is trying to shoot the sheriff, even his own deputies, and our put-upon policeman must rely on his affable mettle and some motley crooks if he is to survive the night. (And that’s all before the Yakuza show up).

Normal arrives in cinemas on April 17th 2026.
