May 16, 1999: One of the alternate titles for "Star Wars" is "A New Hope." And Brad Renfro fans should have a new hope that Brad is cast as Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: Episode Two". Whether or not Brad is cast to play young Anakin in the film, I have added a Star Wars Episode Two page that focuses on the film and the possibility of Brad having a role in it. Check it out--it's pretty cool.

May 14, 1999: Today I added some articles to the Apt Pupil Reviews Page, published the Sleepers Reviews Page and put up one of the first articles on Brad, a New York Times article from July 1994 and a page of "The Client" reviews.

May 13, 1999: Brad was nominated for another award, this time it's the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films Awards. Brad is up for Best Performance By a Young Actor against Josh Hartnett ("The Faculty"), Katie Holmes ("Disturbing Behavior"), Jack Johnson ("Lost in Space"), Tobey Maguire ("Pleasantville"), and Alicia Witt ("Urban Legend"). This is Brad's fourth nomination for a film award (two of which he has won), and his nomination is one of five that "Apt Pupil" received, including Best Direction (Bryan Singer), Best Supporting Actor (Ian McKellen), Best Writing (Brandon Boyce) and Best Horror Film. The awards take place June 9 in California, for more info, click here or click here.

April 29, 1999: As you might have noticed, I'm really updating this site. Apt Pupil was released on April 13 to video and DVD. To go to the second Apt Pupil page focusing on the video/DVD release, click here. In addition, all the movie pages have been updated and I've added yet another Apt Pupil page which contains some of the reviews from critics. Click here to go to the Apt Pupil reviews page. I hope to have more reviews of all films up soon. As for people wanting news on Brad's future projects, there have been rumors of him planning to do two more independent films soon, which in my opinion is not a good decision for someone wanting to establish a Hollywood career. If he keeps choosing to ignore his mainstream fan base and do little indy projects, it's his choice, but personally, I think he should do the second Star Wars film if he is offered it. Anyway, one is called Under the Mimosa with LeAnn Rimes, the other Skipped Parts with Jennifer Jason Leigh and neither of these have begun production. If or when these two projects are confirmed, I'll let you know more. Lastly, I have added two more pages: Brad's Young Co-Stars and Brad's Tokyo Film Festival Award Page.

January 23, 1999: There is a new site devoted to Teen Stars featuring the hottest young entertainers today, including Brad Renfro, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Will Friedle, James Van Der Beek, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Danielle Fishel, Matt Damon and many many more. The site will be improving, but for now, there's brief biographies on the celebrities and Power Ratings-- a list of the 12 stars who are the hottest right now. See the rankings, plus check out the cool site: Teen.html.

The official site of the Tokyo International Film Festival is http://www.tokyo-filmfest.or.jp/e_index.html

THE CLIENT				TELLING LIES IN AMERICA

Who is Brad Renfro? Brad Barron Renfro was born July,25, 1982 in Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1994, Renfro became famous when he made his movie debut in the blockbuster film "The Client." In the film, which also starred Academy Award winners Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones, Brad played the role of eleven-year old Mark Sway. "The Client" was a major success bringing John Grisham's novel to life on the big screen. And Renfro made a name for himself by turning in an unbelievable performance.

Brad's second movie was The Cure. It was a moving drama. In The Cure, Brad played Erik, an 11-year old boy who befriends a boy who has AIDS. The film, released on April 21, 1995, was directed by Peter Horton and also starred Joseph Mazzello, Diana Scarwid, Bruce Davison, and Anabella Sciorra. Brad won the 1995 Hollywood Reporter Young Star Award for his performance in this movie.

Brad's most recent movie was Apt Pupil. The film was released in theaters on October 23 and was recently released on video and DVD April 13. Check out the Apt Pupil page. In this highly-anticipated thriller, directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects), Brad stars as Todd Bowden, a high school student who uncovers the deadly truth about an old man in his town (Ian McKellen).

Just in: Brad may star as Joshua in The Little Black Book. Actually, he might not be in this film at all, if there even is one. Perhaps this one is like David. BIG NEWS: Brad has been rumored to be one of the actors being considered for the role of the young Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode Two. The film is a good distance away from starting production, but the first installment, Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace, will be released May 19. 10/22...Actually, there probably isn't even a movie The Little Black Book, yet the Internet Movie DataBase (www.us.imdb.com) continues to list in under Brad's entry....12/19...Brad is not in The Little Black Book, at least not for now.
