Tony Hale has been cast in “The Mysterious Benedict Society.” Hale will play the dual role of Mr. Benedict and his twin brother Mr. Curtain. Mr. Benedict is described as a rumpled, affable eccentric genius who is head of the Mysterious Benedict Society – a group of orphans he has recruited to save the world. While Mr. Benedict is reluctant to put the children in harm’s way, he feels there is no other choice. His Society is mysterious and so is Mr. Benedict himself; he is the genial, cunning mastermind.
Based on the best-selling novel, “The Mysterious Benedict Society” is the tale of four gifted orphans who are recruited by an eccentric benefactor to go on a secret mission. Placed undercover at a boarding school known as The Institute, they must foil a nefarious plot with global ramifications, while creating a new sort of family along the way.
