Our first Facebook movie game, ClusterFlick, plays off that old "six degrees of separation" theory — you know, the one that has a certain Kevin at the center of the Hollywood universe. It's easy to play, but not so easy to win. The goal is to use the major cast of movies to get from Point A to Point B in the smallest number of moves.
Today's Challenge: I Am Number Four and Unknown both open nationwide today. Can you link their leading men — Alex Pettyfer and Liam Neeson?

John Smith, the main character in the recently published young-adult sci-fi book I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore (the pseudonym of writers James Frey and Jobie Hughes), doesn't yet have the name recognition of other literary heroes like Harry Potter or Edward Cullen, which is likely the reason why the first video featurette for DreamWorks' I Am Number Four movie adaptation focuses on introducing the character. Commentary is supplied by director D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye) and lead actor Alex Pettyfer, who explain the origin of the alien refugee known as John "Number Four" Smith and how his newfound powers will help transform him from a "kid" into a "warrior" by the end of the movie.
