The teaser trailer for Normal previews an unassuming Minnesota town where life is quiet, peaceful, predictable — until it isn’t.
The neo-Western thriller explodes into theaters nationwide on April 17, 2026 via Magnolia Pictures.
Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench, Kill List) directs from a script by Derek Kolstad (John Wick, Nobody).
Bob Odenkirk (“Better Call Saul”) stars as Sheriff Ulysses, whose provisional posting to the quaint Midwestern 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 dark secret is inadvertently exposed, and Ulysses soon discovers that the town is anything but its namesake.
Henry Winkler (Scream) and Lena Headey (“Game of Thrones”) co-star.
Odenkirk and Kolstad produce alongside Marc Provissiero (Nobody), in partnership with QWGmire (The Life of Chuck).
Executive producers include Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty, Elan Gale, Josh Adler, Rhonda Baker, Carrie Wilkins, Glenn Feig, Matthew J. Anderson, Jared D. Underwood, Andrew C. Robinson, and Ellen Rutter.
Normal premiered in the Midnight Madness program at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival in September.
