Benedict Society’

Series co-creator and executive producer Phil Hay calls Season 2 of “ The Mysterious Benedict Society” a season of “planes, trains and automobiles” – though with a Golden Age ocean liner and a zeppelin mixed in for good measure.

Premiering Wednesday, Oct. 26, on Disney+ with a pair of episodes, the new round picks up with “ The Emergency” ended by the eccentric Mr Benedict (Tony Hale), a heroic feat for which his less-than-virtuous twin brother L.D. Curtain (also Hale) has taken credit. But when Benedict and his assistant Number Two (Kristen Schaal) are kidnapped, his young recruits Reynie, Sticky, Kate and Constance (Mystic Inscho, Seth B.

DeOliveira, Marta Kessler) head off by land, sea and air on a trek across Europe, piecing together riddles and clues, to save the world from Curtain’s latest nefarious scheme and rescue their lost comrades.

Their journeys on the high seas take them onto the luxur y liner the S.S. Shortcut, whose scenes were actually filmed aboard the RMS Queen Mary docked in Long Beach, Calif. The ship becomes a character in the stor y.

“I don’t know what we would have done if the Queen Mary didn’t happen to be docked in Long Beach,” Hay says with a laugh. “It’s kind of a unique location.”

“It was a dream,” adds co-creator and executive producer Matt Manfredi. “ They just don’t make that kind of elegance anymore, like there’s just the one. We really would have probably had to write around it if it wasn’t available because it was rumored to be a very difficult place to shoot. And it was but they really opened it up and made it easy for us –or as easy as it could be.”

Which wasn’t ver y. In shooting scenes around the ship, including in the engine room and bridge, both men say the crew really earned their money as it was clearly not built for making a TV show. And the youthful actors got a lesson in what luxur y travel was like 80 years ago

As for the older cast, Hale gives his usual tour-de-force in the dual roles of Benedict and Curtain, once again inhabiting two completely different characters who happen to share the same DNA.

“Tony, of course, is so talented and always so prepared and thoughtful in terms of his approach to the scripts and the act and the work,” Manfredi says. “And there are times when I just kind of forget that it’s one actor. You know, his posture changes, his cadence changes and he looks completely different. So it’s just kind of a joy to watch.”

“Not only are their body types different,” Hay adds, “somehow he turns posture into an absolute character choice.”

“Movie: Downton Abbey: A New Era”

The cast of the landmark series reunites for this feature-length drama that follows them as they venture to the South of France to uncover the mystery behind the Dowager Countess’ recently inherited villa.

This feature-length comedic take on Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet stars Kaitlyn Dever (“Dopesick”) as Rosaline, the jilted ex of Romeo (Kyle Allen, “West Side Story”) who launches an effort to get him back when she sees him pursuing Juliet (Isabela Merced, “Instant Family”). Minnie Driver, Bradley Whitford and Sean Teale also star for director Karen Maine (“Yes, God, Yes”). (ORIGINAL)

‘Dragon Tattoo’ remains an effective myster second film take

Why remake a movie first done only a couple of years earlier?

When you have source material on the order of “ The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” one of the bestsellers popular trilogy of mysteries about the unlikely partnership of a journalist and a radically nonconformist computer the adage of striking while the iron is still hot.

In director David Fincher’s (“ The Social Network”) and Oscar-winning screenwriter Steven Zaillian’s (“Schindler at the stor y – which currently is streaming on Hulu – it does pay, thanks to masterful casting and an atmosphere makes you feel as if you’re right in the picture with the characters.

To say that she is unconventional is more than an understatement. evident, and you can see how much it is from the way Rooney into the character Lisbeth Salander both physically and attitudinally performance (and an Oscar-nominated one), but you’d have to anyone Fincher chose for the role. He had worked with Mara on The Social Network” previously, and reportedly, she really had to sell him on her having this part.

She holds her own quite commendably (“ The Crown’s” Claire Foy became Lisbeth in “ The Girl in the Spider’s Web” seven years later), and that encompasses a couple of “Dragon Tattoo” scenes that are pretty brutal by any standard, particularly for a majorstudio release. If they weren’t in there, fans of the book rightfully could claim that the movie didn’t do right by the tale’s raw nature.

With Stellan Skarsgard, Robin Wright and Michael Nyqvist also in its cast, the second version of “ The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” doesn’t take anything away from the original Swedish edition. Each has its own very strong merits, and each stands on its own as a commendable representation of the novel. And especially the second time around, that’s a perfectly positive outcome.

Celebrity pipeline

Q: Now that Trevor Noah is leaving “The Daily Show,” what will he do next?

— Cindy Ellis, via email

A: Chances are good that he’ll go back to making stand-up comedy his principal calling card. That’s largely what he was doing before Comedy Central called upon

him to succeed Jon Stewart in 2015, and the Johannesburg native was doing that on an international basis, so there are plenty of markets around the world that know his brand of observational humor. The fame that Noah already had only has been burnished by the week night television fame he has accrued.

Q: Will “Hocus Pocus 2” ever be on regular television? — Jennifer Scott, DeLand, Fla.

A: If by “regular,” you mean a commercial broadcast net work — the Disney-owned ABC being the likeliest stop — we’d expect it will, especially since the original “Hocus Pocus” was shown there recently. However, it may take a while, since the sequel reuniting Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy still is reasonably new to Disney+. It will have a certain window of play there be fore other outlets can acquire it; Disney Channel and Freeform

(which also have been homes for the first “Hocus Pocus”) probably will run it, too.

Q: It’s good to see Marg Helgenberger on “CSI: Vegas” now, but why wasn’t she on it from the start? — Ron Galloway, via email

A: Apparently, there had been interest in her for the CBS sequel series from the start, but at that time, the Emmy-winning actress was committed to an NBC pilot that

ultimately didn’t get picked up. By then, Season 1 of “CSI: Vegas” was well into being mapped out, plus Helgenberg er still had a commitment to the law drama “All Rise.”

When Season 2 of “CSI: Vegas” rolled around, there still was interest in bringing Hel genberger on board, and she was interested if it made sense for her character Catherine Willows to return to the CSI unit ... something that Helgen berger had a creative hand in

helping to shape. Though she also has remained on “All Rise” (which is expected to present the rest of its third season next year on OWN), her filming sched ules were such that she was able to do both series.

The Oscar and Tony Award winner has returned to weekly work as an attorney who has her doubts about hiring her questionable-detective son (played by Skylar Astin) to be her firm’s investigator in “So Help Me Todd,” CBS’ new Thursday comedy-drama. As she mixes moments of differing tones, Harden is finding – and adding – much that’s familiar to her character, Margaret Wright.

“I’m fairly strict,” says the mother of three (including twins), “but I’ve learned over the years to just be tolerant. As the kids grow up, they blossom into who they are, and I think it’s a lesson that Margaret needs to learn. I say to my kids, ‘Look. If you fall in love with a giraffe, just bring the giraffe home for Thanksgiving.’ I just care about family That’s the kind of mom I am. ”

As for Todd, Harden doesn’t consider him “a ne’er-do-well, because I think he means super-well. What Margaret really wants him to do is to be responsible, so they have this whole wonderful battle between the millennials and my generation, where those ideas of responsibility and the ideas of how you show up in society aren’t necessarily reflected in the new generation.

“Margaret’s really fighting for him to pay his bills, get out of bed, go to work in the morning,” adds Harden. “And the good thing is, he is. He’s doing all those things. I think part of her journey is that she has to learn to see him for who he is, and let him be who he is.”

BEST BASEBALL MOVIES

“Field of Dreams” (1989) While not the most historically accurate of baseball films – c’mon, Shoeless Joe Jackson batted left-handed and threw righty, not the other way around as Ray Liotta por trayed him –this tale of an Iowa farmer (Kevin Costner) who built a baseball diamond in his cornfield at the urging of a disembodied voice never fails to bring a lump to the throat with the closing scene of Costner’s character playing catch with his long-estranged (and deceased) father

“A League of Their Own” (1992) The little-known stor y of the World War II-era AllAmerican Girls Professional Baseball League gets light-hear ted but respectful treatment in Penny Marshall’s superb comedy/drama. Outstanding per formances come from all around, from Tom Hanks as a besotted,

washed-up star player turned manager to Madonna as the libidinous center fielder and Geena Davis as her team’s star catcher and the film’s central character And the closing scenes at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, N.Y. – set against the strains of Madonna’s “This Used to Be My Playground” – give the film an added poignancy “61*” (2001) Director Billy Cr ystal is a lifelong New York Yankees fan and that cer tainly showed in this seriocomic historical drama about Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris’ race to break Babe Ruth’s home run record in 1961. In addition to the attention to detail paid to Yankee minutiae (Yogi Berra’s malapropisms, Phil Rizzuto’s tendency to ramble), the film also features the downright spooky resemblances of Thomas Jane and Barr y Pepper to Mantle and Maris. And

a few jabs at the oppor tunistic New York spor tswriters of the day didn’t hur t either “42” (2013) Dashing Indiana Jones as rumpled Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey? Well, the ar tist known as Harrison Ford manages to pull it of f in style in this outstanding drama about the challenges faced by Jackie Robinson (played deftly by the late Chadwick Boseman) in breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947. As the majors’ first African-American player, Robinson had to be strong enough not to fight back against the slings and arrows of racism, a struggle Boseman por trayed superbly – especially in one wrenching scene where an opposing manager repeatedly taunts Robinson with an inflammator y epithet.
