Twilight Lexicon Discussion Forums

Thanks for reviving this thread, Nora

1. Ashton Kutcher was in Valentine's Day with Taylor Lautner

Next: Penelope Cruz

I'm really bad at Six Degrees, even when I use IMDb, but here goes!

Penelope Cruz worked with Geoffrey Rush in Pirates 4
Geoffrey Rush worked with Joaquin Phoenix in Quills
Joaquin Phoenix worked with Reese Witherspoon in Walk the Line
and we all know Reese worked with Rob in WfE and Vanity Fair!

There's probably a shorter chain available, but Penelope Cruz was a little tough.

EDIT: I came up with 2 shorter chains:
Penelope Cruz and Matthew McConaghey in Sahara
and Matthew McConaghey and Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama
Reese and Rob (EDIT AGAIN: my bad)
or Matthew McConaghey and Jodie Foster in Contact
Jodie and Kristen in Panic Room!
Matthew's got serious Twilight connections.

Next: Whitney Houston.

There's actually an even quicker Penelope Cruz connection:

1) Penelope was in Vicky Cristina Barcelona with Javier Bardem
2) Javier Barden was in Love in the Time of Cholera with Catalina Sandino Moreno

Okay, Whitney Houston

1) Whitney Houston was in The Preacher's Wife with Denzel Washington
2) Denzel Washington was in Man on Fire with Dakota Fanning.

Next: Richard Gere

Told you I suck at this. Your Whitney Houston chain was shorter than mine! But I'm hoping that practice will sharpen my mental abilities, so if you don't think IMDb is cheating, I'll play.

Richard Gere wasn't hard, although again, there may be a shorter chain.

Richard Gere and Jodie Foster in Sommersby
Jodie and Kristen, Panic Room again.

I really liked Sommersby.

Next: Cher. (I'm not picking singers on purpose.)

Always glad when someone else wants to join in this thread.

1. Cher was in Burlesque with Cam Gigandet

Next: Val Kilmer

This is a fun thread!

1. Val Kilmer was in True Romance with Christian Slater.
2. Christian Slater was in My Own Worst Enemy with Taylor Lautner.

Charleton Heston!

1. Charlton Heston was in Hamlet with Brian Blessed
2. Brian Blessed was in As You Like It with Bryce Dallas Howard.

How's that--an all-Shakespeare connection (and Kenneth Branagh also is involved in both films as director but I thought I'd stick with an acting link).

Next: Uma Thurman

Whoops, this one looks easy even for me, if movies in pre-production count.
EDIT: I meant not released yet. Whoops again!

Uma Thurman and Rob Pattinson in Bel Ami. Is there a release date yet?

Next: Sally Fields

1. Sally Field was in Legally Blonde 2 with Reese Witherspoon
2. Reese Witherspoon was in Water For Elephants with Robert Pattinson.

I can't find anything about a release date for Bel Ami. When I've played games like this at other forums, in-production films have always been fair game.

Next: Marisa Tomei

Been working for 2 days to get a reasonably short link!

Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood in The Wrestler
Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed (and Catherine Hardwick for the bonus point) in Thirteen

Thirteen was pretty awesome.
I recently heard a rumor about a Bel Ami release date of something like February 2012, but I don't think it's set yet.
