  • Apt Pupil is a 1998 American drama film based on the novella of the same name by Stephen King. The film was directed by Bryan Singer and stars Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro. In the 1980s in southern California, high school student Todd Bowden (Renfro) discovers fugitive Nazi war criminal Kurt Dussander (McKellen) living in his neighborhood under the pseudonym Arthur Denker. Bowden, obsessed with Nazism and acts of the Holocaust, persuades Dussander to share his stories, and their relationship stirs malice in each of them. The novella was first published in King's 1982 collection Different Seasons. Producer Richard Kobritz sought to adapt the novella into a film during the 1980s, but two actors he invited to play Dussander died. When filming began in 1987, a loss of financing led to production being shut down. Forty minutes of usable footage existed, but production was never revived. In 1995, when rights to the novella returned to King, Bryan Singer petitioned the author for an opportunity to film the novella. With King's support, Singer filmed Apt Pupil with McKellen and Renfro in Altadena, California in 1997. The director shortened the novella's storyline, reduced its violence, and changed the ending. Singer called Apt Pupil "a study in cruelty" with Nazism only serving as a vehicle for the capacity of evil. During the $14 million production, a lawsuit was filed by several extras who alleged that they were told to strip naked during a shower scene, but the lawsuit was determined to be meritless. The film was released in the United States and Canada in autumn 1998 to mixed reviews and made under $9 million. The main actors won several minor awards for their performances.

  • A teenage boy (played by Brad Renfro) stands on the left half of the image, seen from shoulder up. He wears a collared blue shirt and a graduation cap (a square board on a skullcap that comes down near his eyebrows, all blue). From the cap hangs a red tassel off the right side. The left half of boy's face is lit up by a light source from off the right side of the image. On the right side of the image stands an old man (played by Ian McKellen) immediately behind the boy's left shoulder, also seen from shoulders up. He has round glasses and a white-and-gray goatee. He is cast in shadow, and he wears a Nazi uniform (a gray coat with a black decorated collar, and a gray hat with a black visor and an emblem of an eagle on the cap above the visor). The image's background is black, and the blackness slightly envelops the edges of the men's appearances. Below their shoulders is the title "Apt Pupil" in uppercase. "Apt" is colored red, and "Pupil" is colored white and is bolder than the previous word.

  • "I don't believe for one minute that [Todd] was pure as the driven snow. The capacity to blackmail an old man -- obviously there's a search for something going on that's a good hard step beyond innocence. I think he had it within him, some emptiness that needed fulfillment and taken to a new place, a new direction. His school, his parents, his environment weren't doing it for him. This particular individual came along before some other, but it perhaps could have been drugs, it could have been rape. Todd was probably not a very good guy. But that kind of bad guy can exist within a lot more people than we realize."
