I�d like to try a new movie game (at least I hope it's new). The rules are easy: Some unequivocal information (this can be anything) about a movie or a person will be given. Then a certain question concerning this movie or person will be asked. You might have to guess the title of a movie or the director or an actor/actress or the composer or a character etc.

For example:

This movie was nominated for an academy award in the categories �Best Director�, �Best Leading Actress� and �Best Writing, Screenplay� in 1952. It is an adaptation of a novel by C.S. Forester. What�s the title of the movie?

Exclamation

African Queen

Would you like to give it a go?

Question

This movie was directed by Alan Parker. The main actor was nominated for an academy award for actor in a leading role (not for this movie!!) in 2009. The main part of the movie takes place in New Orleans. What�s the title of the movie?
