Henry Winkler (Barry) and Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) have joined the cast of Bob Odenkirk’s upcoming action movie Normal, which comes from the producing team behind Odenkirk’s other action flick, Nobody.
In this film, Odenkirk plays a character named Ulysses, “who is appointed substitute sheriff in the tiny Minnesota town of Normal, populated by friendly Midwesterners.
“When the local bank is sacked, Ulysses unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive than a simple bank robbery.”
Winkler will play the mayor of Normal, while Headey will take on the role of a local bartender, Moira.
Normal is being directed by Ben Wheatley (Free Fire, Kill List) from a screenplay written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad, who shares a story credit with Odenkirk.
Producers include Marc Provissiero (Nobody, No Hard Feelings), Odenkirk and Kolstad, who all recently wrapped Nobody 2.
The producers said in a joint statement: “We’re thrilled Ben Wheatley joined us on this one. He is an absolute master of the form. We love our cast and are excited to try and capture something unexpected.”
Normal is currently in production and started shooting last month in Winnipeg, Canada.
