Hayden Christensen was in "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (Remastered Edition)" with Alec Guinness.

He showed up right at the end as a 'force ghost' just wanted to see if you'd think of that

ok Frank Sinatra to John Wayne

let's try this with older actors

by Supreme Overlord Thu Aug 02, 2012 5:24 am

I hate older actors (I recognise the names, but don't know who they are - although you can often get through the major population centres ie Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, X-Men and I guess now Marvel Cinematic Universe and anything my Christopher Nolan to name a few).

Frank Sinatra was in 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' with Christopher Lloyd.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Thu Aug 02, 2012 5:31 am

Christopher Lloyd was in 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock' with Loenard Nimoy

by Supreme Overlord Thu Aug 02, 2012 5:37 am

By the way, you do realise that they were in a movie together (Cast a Giant Shadow), and since we're having to look this up just to know who they are anyway, this could be taking some of the fun out of the game.
But make the next move, if you so desire.

Tip: Whoever starts off, make sure that a) there is a link and b) they weren't in the same movie.

by Supreme Overlord Thu Aug 02, 2012 5:45 am

Leonard Nimoy was in 'Them!' with Edmund Gwenn.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Thu Aug 02, 2012 5:59 am

Edmund Gwenn was in 'Lassie Come Home' with Nigel Bruce

by Supreme Overlord Fri Aug 03, 2012 3:10 am

Nigel Bruce was in 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' with Leslie Howard.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Wed Aug 08, 2012 6:02 am

Leslie Howard was in 'Gone With the Wind' with Butterfly McQueen (just because I really like that name)

by Supreme Overlord Thu Aug 09, 2012 4:25 am

Butterfly McQueen was in 'Flame of Barbary Coast' with John Wayne.

Finally, we're out of the ancient past!

Hilary Duff to Ellen Page.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Wed Aug 15, 2012 6:49 am

Hilary Duff was in 'Cadet Kelly' with Shawn Ashmore

there that should be easy (do you know how long it took me to find this connection)

by Supreme Overlord Fri Aug 17, 2012 1:35 am

Shawn Ashmore was in 'X-Men 3: The Last Stand' with Ellen Page.

That was a bit boring...

Matt Damon to Josh Hutcherson.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Thu Aug 23, 2012 4:43 am

Matt Damon was in ' Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' with Will Ferrell

That was also quite boring

by Supreme Overlord Thu Aug 23, 2012 6:05 am

Will Ferrell was in 'Kicking & Screaming' with Josh Hutcherson.

How I Did In In My Head:

Madeline Zima to Elisabeth Röhm.

Edit: By the way, it doesn't have to be in the absolute minimum number of steps. A convoluted path can be entertaining also.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Thu Aug 23, 2012 8:31 am

Madeline Zima was in 'A Cinderella Story' with Regina King

once again I have manged to find a one link answer and I thought this would have been harder.

by Supreme Overlord Fri Aug 24, 2012 3:08 am

Regina King was in 'Miss Congeniality 2' with Elisabeth Rohm.

According to the Oracle of Bacon, 8.4% of actors can be linked to Madeline Zima in 2 or less steps, and 9.5% can be linked to Elisabeth Rohm. That's out of a total of 1 474 808, which is the main group of linkable actors. So, yeah, it was a bit unlikely that these two more obscure actors could be linked to each other so easily.

Hmm, let's try something slightly different. Dunno how this will go:
'Hoodwinked' to 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs'

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Wed Aug 29, 2012 6:32 am

ok Anne Hathaway from "Hoodwinked" was in 'Brokeback mountain' with Anna Faris from "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs"

by Supreme Overlord Wed Aug 29, 2012 6:41 am

You pick a pair; movies or actors.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Wed Aug 29, 2012 6:43 am

basil Rathbone to Robert Downey Junior

by Supreme Overlord Wed Aug 29, 2012 6:54 am

Basil Rathbone was in 'The Great Mouse Detective' with Vincent Price.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Wed Aug 29, 2012 6:59 am

Vincent Price was in "Edward Scissorhands" with Johnnt Depp

by Supreme Overlord Wed Aug 29, 2012 7:17 am

Johnny Depp was in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl' with Orlando Bloom.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Wed Aug 29, 2012 7:27 am

by Supreme Overlord Wed Aug 29, 2012 7:31 am

Mark Ruffalo was in 'The Avengers' with Robert Downey Jr.

I'm done for the day. Pick another or I'll restart tomorrow.

by Darth Skywalkerbacca Wed Aug 29, 2012 7:36 am

ok John Williams to Hans Zimmer

This should be pretty esay (actually very easy) but this is yet another take. on the classic game we know and love.
