Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When working together, Tom Hanks and this director always hide a number somewhere in the movie, indicating how many movies they have made together. Who is the director?

Answer: Steven Spielberg

It is their kind of personal running gag. Spielberg and Hanks filmed "Saving Private Ryan" (1998) and "The Terminal" (2004) together, among others. They not only collaborate as actor/director, but also functioned as producers together, on the miniseries "The Pacific" (2007-2009).
2. Which director would Nicolas surely NOT ignore, since they share family bonds?

Answer: Francis Ford Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola is Nicolas Cage's uncle. Cage was born Nicolas Kim Coppola, but he changed his family name to Cage when entering the business, so as to make it without a "big name". Francis Ford Coppola's rise to fame began in the 1960s and in my opinion peaked in the "Godfather" trilogy (1970-1990), with many more famous movies, such as "Dracula" (1992) and "Apocalypse Now" (1979).
They have worked together in "Rumble Fish" (1983) and "Peggy Sue Got Married" (1986).
3. Which 2010 movie, set in a mental institution, is the fourth collaboration between Leonardo DiCaprio and his apparently favourite director, Martin Scorsese?

Answer: Shutter Island

It is their fourth collaboration following "The Departed" (2006), "The Aviator" (2004) and "Gangs of New York" (2002).
"Shutter Island" stars Leonardo DiCaprio as U.S. Marshal Daniels, who investigates a mysterious disappearance from a psychiatric institution on a remote island.
4. Penélope Cruz may be called the muse of this well-known Spanish director?

Answer: Pedro Almodóvar

Notable collaborations of the two are "Broken Embraces" (2009), "Volver" (2006) and "All about my Mother" (1999).
They both are natives to Madrid and surroundings. Almodóvar's career as Spain's best-known director began in the 1980s.
Cruz had acted in many European movies, before breaking through in the US in 2001, with movies such as "Vanilla Sky" and "Blow".
5. The relationship between German actor Klaus Kinski and his compatriot can best be described as rocky. Kinski reputedly pulled a gun on this director on set of "Aguirre", their last movie together. They never shot a film together again. What is the director's name?

Answer: Werner Herzog

Many years after Kinski's passing, Herzog made a documentary about his relationship with Kinski called "My Best Friend" (1999).
Both men are among Germany's greatest in their respective branches.
Herzog is considered as an initiator for the New German Cinema. Previous to the mentioned incident, he shot six movies with Klaus Kinski.
Kinski is probably best-known worldwide for his "Nosferatu" (1979), for which Herzog was the director as well.
6. Helena Bonham Carter has starred many times under her life partner's direction. Who is he?

Answer: Tim Burton

They met while filming "Planet of the Apes" (2001). Since then, she has appeared in more than five of his movies. Their 2010 collaboration being "Alice in Wonderland". They have two children together and live in London, in neighbouring houses with a connecting doorway.
7. Who is the actor, who has appeared in more than a handful of Tim Burton's movies?

Answer: Johnny Depp

Their relationship is not strictly business-based. Depp is the godfather to Burton's children. Their first film was "Edward Scissorhands" (1990), their first movie using 3D technology was "Alice in Wonderland" (2010).
8. Which superhero symbolizes the relationship between director Christopher Nolan and actor Christian Bale?

Answer: Batman

Nolan and Bale began a trilogy of "Batman" movies, starting with "Batman Begins" (2005), "The Dark Knight" (2008) and an probable third installment.
There have been innumerable adaptions for comics, movies, TV series etc. of the Batman character.
At the box office, "The Dark Knight", the second part of Nolan's trilogy, had the highest grossing opening weekend when it opened in the United States.
9. This actress married to one of the Coen Brothers in 1984. She starred in "Fargo" (1996) and "Burn After Reading" (2008), among others. Who is she?

Answer: Frances McDormand

McDormand debuted in the brothers' film debut "Blood Simple" (1984), which received a lot of praise, for both actress and directors. She married the older of the brothers, Joel Cohen, in the same year.
10. Which actor/director "couple" is responsible for movies such as "Gladiator", "Robin Hood", "Body of Lies" and "American Gangster"?

Answer: Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott

Crowe and Scott also teamed up for the less action-packed "A Good Year" (2006).
Crowe's breakthrough movie was "L.A. Confidential" (1997); he won Best Actor at the Oscars for "The Gladiator" in 2000.
Ridley Scott began his career in the 1970s, followed by many outstanding and versatile movies, such as "Alien" (1979), "Thelma & Louise" (1991) and "Hannibal" (2001).
