I've gathered some resources about the film at User:Erik/Apt Pupil (film). —Erik (talk • contrib) 06:19, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
The article looks great! Nicely sourced, written and great info! Wildroot (talk) 01:24, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
The cast section is laid out to provide a simple list of the actors and their roles for easy navigation. It is also laid out to reduce extraneous white space in the article that exists when it is just one column. In addition, the margins are lined up for easy reading. Cast lists in undeveloped film articles are single-column bulleted lists so they can be edited with ease, but this developed article is just about complete in terms of casting coverage. After the list of actors and their roles, the main ones are discussed in prose. This is in contrast to the "fat bullet" presentation before. Erik (talk | contribs) 12:12, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the "Starring" field in the infobox, it is most appropriate to identify just McKellen and Renfro. We need to avoid listing names in the infobox indiscriminately per WP:IINFO, and for this particular film, the other actors are indiscriminate compared to these two. This is reflected by a lack of coverage of these actors in the body of this Good Article. Per WP:IBX, the purpose of an infobox is "to summarize key facts in the article in which it appears". The film infobox guidelines state to use the billing block as a guideline, and this is because there has been certain edit warring about the cutoff point when it comes to a larger main cast. For films like this one, it is more straightforward to surmise the starring roles since there is a significant gap between McKellen/Renfro and the others in a story-wise and real-world context.

Article mentions Apt Pupil, especially the lawsuit involved. The "Lawsuit" section can be expanded with more details. Not sure about including Valdovinos's account. Others are welcome to comment. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:47, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
The article states that the civil case arising out of the shower allegations was dismissed due to a lack of evidence. It cites a 2006 book entitled "Apt Pupil: The Hollywood Nazi-as-Monster Flick" by Picart and Frank for this proposition. I see another source (https://www.indiewire.com/2017/12/bryan-singer-sexual-assault-rape-allegations-timeline-1201903868/) that agrees. However, I also see four other sources (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/03/bryan-singers-accusers-speak-out/580462/, https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/millennium-films-backs-bryan-singer-allegations-60608012, https://www.apnews.com/e8275873de3b4218a50d6550b8e5006b, https://keprtv.com/news/entertainment/bryan-singer-keeps-directing-gig-following-allegations) that say that the case was settled. I do not have access to the 2006 book. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to proceed? SunCrow (talk) 10:11, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
Was it the death camp survivor or Dussander who got arrested and his extradition to Israel arranged? 69.74.193.226 (talk) 15:05, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
