NORMAL (2026)

NORMAL is actually the 2025 American-Canadian action crime comedy released internationally in 2026. Directed by Ben Wheatley and written by Derek Kolstad, it follows Ulysses, a provisional sheriff in the deceptively peaceful town of Normal, Minnesota, whose routine is shattered by a bank robbery and a much larger criminal conspiracy.

Bob Odenkirk leads the film with Lena Headey and Henry Winkler, while the production combines dry comedy, crime, Japanese yakuza elements, and deliberately exaggerated action. The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival before receiving a wide theatrical release in April 2026.
