Ben Wheatley has a huge range of directing styles, bending genres and minds across the board! From his early career directing viral commercials and the self-funded feature Down Terrace, he went on to release the darkly humorous Sightseers which catapulted him onto the global stage.
In-between shooting High Rise, starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons and Sienna Miller and Free Fire featuring an ensemble cast, Ben continued to flex his muscles in advertising directing funny, off-the-wall ads for T-Mobile, Premier Inn and Thomas Cook amongst others.
His style takes on chameleon-like guises from costume drama remake Rebecca to the high-octane Meg 2. Hot on the heels of that, he recently released his indie Bulk, a sci-fi thriller journeying through alternate realities using experimental film techniques and stop-frame animation. And in April 2026, his next Hollywood extravaganza Normal graced UK screens, an exhilarating genre chimera – part western, part mystery, part comedy, described by Timeout as ‘an absolute blast of retro shoot-‘em up’.
