Lena Headey, famous for playing Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones, will be starring with Bob Odenkirk, known for Better Call Saul, in a new action thriller called Normal. This movie is directed by Ben Wheatley, who made movies like Free Fire.
Headey and Odenkirk will be joined by Henry Winkler, also known as “The Fonz” from Happy Days. It’s an unexpected group for an action film, and the team making this movie also worked on the hit action movie Nobody, which starred Odenkirk.
Derek Kolstad, the same writer behind John Wick, writes the action scenes in Normal. In Normal, Bob Odenkirk plays Ulysses, a regular guy who unexpectedly becomes the temporary sheriff of the quiet town of Normal, Minnesota.
