The cast and crew of the upcoming action thriller "Normal" sit down with Mashable's Kristy Puchko to discuss the film’s gritty, old-school approach to filmmaking. Starring Bob Odenkirk, written by Derek Kolstad ("John Wick", "Nobody"), and directed by Ben Wheatley ("Free Fire", "Meg 2: The Trench"), "Normal" tells the story of a small-town sheriff who uncovers a deep-seated secret.
In this interview, the team dives into the decision to shoot on 35mm film, the importance of using real practical effects and stunts over CGI, and how the movie plays with classic Western themes. Bob Odenkirk also shares his love for playing the "begrudging hero" and what it’s like shooting a machine gun on a cold Minnesota set.
