I almost played this as Q since in English, the movie is called Quitting.

I don't think there are enough Julia Stiles/Shakespeare movies for a whole round, but Paul's comment gave me the idea for this round....

Each movie played must have something similar to the previous movie (one degree of separation). What they share is up to you. A character? Director? Location? When you play the movie, you need to state what is shared with its predecessor.

Unplayed movies, as always. I have a quiet evening here at home (the family is at a meeting) so my goal is to have the archive completely up-to-date in a few hours.

PS...Whoever goes first, playing the A movie, gets to play anything they want. Fran, you and I have to hold on A to let the requisite two turns pass.

Have fun!

Apocalypto and Bandidas share the same casting director: Carla Hool.

Luc Bresson was one of the writers on Bandidas, and he was executive producer of Un Chateau en Espagne.

Anne Brochet stars in both Un château en Espagne and Dust.

Both Dust and The Escapist star Joseph Fiennes.

Not yet released, apparently it did well at Sundance. UK release date is June 20.

Great round, Leslie!

Liam Cunningham appears in both The Escapist and First Knight.

Julia Ormond is in both First Knight and Steven Soderbergh's Guerrilla

==COMMENT==
I don't know what happened to this production. The poster says January 2007 and lists Ryan Gosling and Javier Bardem. IMDb has it as Completed 2008, but Gosling and Bardem are not listed and Lou Diamond Phillips and Kahlil Mendez are.

This movie features Lou Diamond Phillips, who was also in Guerrilla (at least according to IMDb).
