Ben To Star In MGM+’s ‘The Institute’

MGM+ has given a series order to ‘The Institute’, a thriller based on the 2019 Stephen King novel. Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker are set to lead the drama from director Jack Bender, writer Benjamin Cavell, and MGM+ Studios. More details below:

In the eight-episode ‘The Institute’, when 12-year-old genius Luke Ellis is kidnapped, he awakens at The Institute, a facility full of children who all got there the same way he did, and who are all possessed of unusual abilities. In a nearby town, haunted former police officer Tim Jamieson (Barnes) has come looking to start a new life, but the peace and quiet won’t last, as his story and Luke’s are destined to collide.

Barnes’ Tim Jamieson is a disillusioned ex-cop who takes a job as the night knocker in a small town, withdrawing from the world until Luke’s plight reignites him and gives him something to believe in.

Parker, who I hear has a one-year deal, will play Ms. Sigsby, the charming but iron-willed director of the Institute and a true believer in its awful mission. She’s certain history will come to see her as a hero.

Production is slated to begin in Nova Scotia later this year.

‘Scrooge’ Podcast Out November 16

Ben is the voice of Ghost of Christmas Present in the upcoming ‘Scrooge: A Christmas Carol’ podcast by Hope Media Group and Compassion International. The special 4-part series releases Thursday, Nov 16th, and will be available on ScroogePodcast.com.

This 4 episode adaptation of “Scrooge: A Christmas Carol,” by Charles Dickens brings the characters we all know and love to life unlike ever before through a star-studded dramatic audio adaptation in podcast form.

Ebenezer Scrooge, a self-obsessed miserable miser of all things un-merry and un-bright, is everything Christmas isn’t. After he is visited by the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come, Scrooge transforms into a new man and embodies all the best parts of Christmas.

Through this journey of transformation, listeners will encounter themes of joy, mercy, hope, and more. This new re-telling of the holiday classic will entertain, inspire, and remind you that even the hardest of hearts can find redemption.
