ProductionDerek Kolstad had written a script for Normal prior to filming the 2021 film Nobody, and while working on that film together, he and Bob Odenkirk discussed the project and decided it would make for another good collaboration between the two. The script had action, but also Hitchcockian crime-thriller and mystery elements.[1] Kolstad and Odenkirk further developed the story to the final screenplay,[2] and the project was taken to the 2024 European Film Market, packaged with Ben Wheatley directing and Odenkirk starring.[3] Principal photography began on October 21, 2024 in Winnipeg with a cast reported in November 2024 that also includes Henry Winkler, Lena Headey, Ryan Allen, Billy MacLellan, Brendan Fletcher, Peter Shinkoda, and Jess McLeod.[2] ReleaseAmong the companies that the film was sold to in pre-sales at the EFM included Sky Cinema for the United Kingdom, Amazon MGM Studios for Canada, Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand, Metropolitan Filmexport for France and Leonine Studios in Germany.[4] References
