After the 2023 Hollywood writers and actors strikes and the budget crunch that followed, the industry shock that was felt throughout Los Angeles extended all the way to Canada — specifically Ontario and British Columbia — where the usual deluge of location shoots slowed to a trickle. The strikes triggered a 26 percent downturn in production spending in 2024 compared with 2023, leaving local soundstages dark and production crews idle.

Hopes for a quick recovery surged once the labor action was settled in late 2023 and Hollywood got back to work. As L.A. continues struggling to bounce back, the locations business in Canada is booming again, signaling a speedy rebound that few predicted.

“Despite all the uncertainty, it does seem to be ticking along very well at the moment,” says Karen Thorne-Stone, president and CEO of Ontario Creates, which markets the province to foreign producers. “Production levels are looking good for us. The rebound has been strong.

Henry Winkler and Lena Headey have joined Bob Odenkirk in the upcoming action movie “Normal,” from the producing team behind the 2021 hit “Nobody.”

In “Normal,” Odenkirk plays Ulysses, who is appointed substitute sheriff in the tiny Minnesota town of Normal, populated by friendly Midwesterners. When the local bank is sacked, Ulysses “unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive than a simple bank robbery,” per the logline.

Winkler, star of “Happy Days” and “Barry,” will play the mayor of Normal, while “Game of Thrones” and “300” favorite Headey is the local bartender, Moira.

“Normal” is directed by Ben Wheatley from a screenplay written by “John Wick” creator Derek Kolstad, who shares a story credit with Odenkirk. Producers are Marc Provissiero (“Nobody,” “No Hard Feelings”), Odenkirk and Kolstad, who all recently wrapped “Nobody 2.”

Principal photography on “Normal” began Oct. 21 and will continue in Winnipeg, Canada, through December. Rounding out the cast are Ryan Allen,...

John Ortiz, who made multiple appearances in the Fast & Furious franchise, is set to join a star-studded cast for Bob Odenkirk's highly anticipated sequel, Nobody 2.

There are currently no details regarding what role Ortiz's character will have in Nobody 2 at this time. The plot for the Odenkirk-led sequel is also being kept under wraps, but the screenplay is penned by Derek Kolstad, Aaron Rabin, Odenkirk and Umair Aleem.

Starring Bob Odenkirk, Connie Nielsen, Aleksey Serebryakov, RZA, Christopher Lloyd and Michael Ironside, the movie transforms the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul star into cinemas newest action icon.

Back in 2021, actor/comedian Bob Odenkirk – who is best known for playing the role of con artist turned lawyer Saul Goodman on the TV series on Breaking Bad and its spin-off Better Call Saul – made the unexpected move of playing a retired government assassin in the action thriller Nobody. Doing the unexpected worked out, as Nobody was a success, making $57.5 million at the box office on a budget of $16 million. That was enough to get a sequel greenlit – and now that production has started on that sequel, we figured this was a good time to put together a list of Everything We Know About Nobody 2!

Bob Odenkirk is ready to, as he puts it, “get his ass handed to him.” The Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul star is reteaming with Derek Kolstad, screenwriter on 2021’s Nobody, on a new action film, Normal, which is among the hottest projects being shopped to buyers at the European Film Market in chilly Berlin this week (by WME Independent).

Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench, Free Fire) is on board to direct the film, which will star Odenkirk as Ulysses, a temporary sheriff in the sleepy rust belt town of Normal who gets caught up in a deep criminal conspiracy. Kolstad, who also penned the John Wick franchise, will produce together with Odenkirk and Normal producer Marc Provissiero, with Josh Adler from Circle of Confusion as executive producer.

Nobody transformed Odenkirk into an unlikely action star, playing Hutch Mansell, a humdrum family man with a secret past as a professional assassin.

Bob Odenkirk will be heading to the Old West with his next big role.

Per Deadline, Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) is set to star in a Western action movie called Normal. The project will reunite Odenkirk with John Wick writer Derek Kolstad, who previously wrote Nobody. Kolstad wrote the script for Normal, and Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench) is on board to direct the feature film. Odenkirk and Kolstad are producing with Nobody producer Marc Provissiero (No Hard Feelings). Normal will reportedly be shopped at the upcoming European Film Market to find its distributor, and it shouldn't have much trouble, given how well Nobody had done with the team-up of Odenkirk and Kolstad.

Plot details have also been revealed.

Ben Wheatley will direct Bob Odenkirk in the action film Normal, which WME Independent is launching at next week’s EFM in Berlin.

Derek Kolstad, a writer on the John Wick franchise who scripted Universal’s 2021 action thriller Nobody starring Odenkirk, wrote the screenplay.

Odenkirk will play Ulysses, who is thrust into the temporary role of the sheriff of the titular small sleepy town after the previous incumbent’s untimely death.

When the town’s bank is robbed by an out-of-town couple, Ulysses begins to learn that the town is hiding secrets and everyone – from the bartender to the priest – is in on it.

Bob Odenkirk’s career has taken a unique path. Although he started in the comedy world, he would take his already-acclaimed career to new heights when he played Saul Goodman on the immensely popular series, Breaking Bad. And while shows like that and Better Call Saul still played on his comedy strengths, Odenkirk would go for something different when he starred in the action film, Nobody, which came from the writer and stunt crew who brought us John Wick.

According to Deadline, Odenkirk is set to work with Nobody screenwriter Derek Kolstad again on a new project that is going to be helmed by Free Fire and High Rise director Ben Wheatley. The film is titled Normal and “follows Ulysses (Odenkirk), who is thrust into the temporary role of the sheriff for the small sleepy town Normal after the previous one’s untimely death.

Emmy Award winner Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) has re-teamed with Nobody writer Derek Kolstad (John Wick franchise) on a new action pic titled Normal, with Ben Wheatley set as director. WME Independent will launch sales at the upcoming European Film market.

The script, written by Kolstad, follows Ulysses (Odenkirk), who is thrust into the temporary role of the sheriff for the small sleepy town Normal after the previous one’s untimely death. When the town’s bank is robbed by an out-of-town couple, Ulysses arrives on the scene to find that the town is hiding much more sinister deep-seated secrets under its surface and everyone – from the bartender to the priest – is in on it. And now Ulysses, who’s up-till-now focused only on running away from the demons of his past, must uncover the full extent of this criminal conspiracy.

Bob Odenkirk is re-teaming with Nobody writer Derek Kolstad on Normal, a crime thriller in which the Better Call Saul star will again take on the unlikely role of action hero.

The film, for which WME Independent will launch sales at Berlin’s European Film Market next week, is the latest twist on the action genre from Kolstad, who also penned the John Wick franchise. Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench, Free Fire) is on board to direct.

The plot of Normal has Odenkirk playing Ulysses, a temporary sheriff — “the substitute teacher of the sheriff world,” says Kolstad — running away from the demons of his past, who has taken over in the sleepy town of Normal after the untimely death of the town’s original lawman. But when the town’s bank is robbed by outsiders, Ulysses uncovers a deep criminal conspiracy at the heart of Normal and realizes that everyone in town,...

AMC has canceled the Bob Odenkirk-led series Lucky Hank after just one season, despite positive critical response. The show followed Odenkirk's character, an unlikely chair of the English department at a badly underfunded school, as he copes with a midlife crisis and his wife questions her choices. Odenkirk's current 14-year run on AMC, thanks to his role as Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, comes to an end with the cancelation of Lucky Hank.

Lucky Hank has come to an unfortunate early conclusion; AMC has canceled the Bob Odenkirk-led series after just one season, per Variety. The comedy-drama followed Odenkirk's William Henry Deveraux Jr., the unlikely chair of the English department at Railton College, a badly underfunded school in the Pennsylvania rust belt, as he copes with a midlife crisis. As his life unravels, his wife, Lily (portrayed by The Killing's Mireille Enos), begins questioning her professional path and choices.

AMC has canceled “Lucky Hank” after one season, Variety has confirmed.

Based on Richard Russo’s “Straight Man” novel, the eight-episode dramedy follows William Henry “Hank” Devereaux Jr. (Bob Odenkirk), an unlikely chairman in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt. Just as Hank’s career and home life begins to unravel, his wife Lily (Mirielle Enos) also decides to take a look at some of her past choices that led to her current reality. The series is told in first person from Hank’s point of view.

It’s more like unlucky Hank.

AMC has canceled Lucky Hank, the drama series starring Bob Odenkirk, after one season.

The series, which marked Odenkirk’s follow-up after Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, wrapped its eight-episode run in May and has been on the bubble during the writers and actors strikes.

The cancellation brings an end to Odenkirk’s run on the network, which dates back to 2009, when he was cast in Breaking Bad. The series concluded its run with a mere 260,000 same-day viewers.

“We’re proud of Lucky Hank and thankful for the work of everyone who brought this unique, playful and deeply human show to viewers, from the talented creative team to our partners at Sony and, of course, Bob, Mireille [Enos] and the entire cast and crew,” AMC said in a statement. “Unfortunately, we are not able to proceed with a second season, but we are glad...

This won’t help his state of mind… Lucky Hank has been canceled after one season.

AMC has axed the Bob Odenkirk-led drama series, which premiered in March.

The series, which is an adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel Straight Man, saw Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul star Odenkirk play William Henry Devereaux, Jr., the unlikely chairman of the English department in a badly underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust belt, who is somewhere between midlife crisis and full-blown meltdown.

The eight-part series premiered in March and came from Sony Pictures’ Television TriStar TV and Mark Johnson’s Gran Via. Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein adapted the book and served as co-showrunners. The duo exec produced alongside Odenkirk, director Peter Farrelly, Richard Russo, Naomi Odenkirk and Marc Provissiero.

It’s been a tough twelve months, programming wide, for AMC Networks, which at the start of the year axed a...
