Return of the 27-9-3 movie game, Game Room inaugural edition

[tdn]

The Rules:

Phase One:

Organize the twenty-seven actors into nine groups of three each. For each group, name a movie that they were all in. Come up with a fourth actor for each movie. This will give you nine new actors.

Phase Two:

Organize the nine new actors into three groups of three, as in phase one. Come up with a fourth actor for each movie. This will give you three new actors.

Phase Three:

What movie were they all in?

Jennifer Aniston

My free bump comes with a hint. A phase 2 actor is Mark Wahlberg. Yes, there are a couple of ways he could fit in. Only one is correct.
