History
Brilliance was started on January 1, 2000 with the goal of providing a respectful resource for fellow fans about Jude Law’s career. Through many redesigns, webhosts, contributors, and script changes over the years, Brilliance reopened in September 2007 with a brand new design. The goal for this site remains the same: to provide accurate news and media about Jude Law and to chronicle his incredible and varied career.
Current Team
Brilliance is working to put together a team of Jude fans to help update the site and make it the most comprehensive resource for Jude Law fans on the internet. If you are interested in helping, please send an email with an example of your web skills and why you would like to help.
Past Team
Brilliance has grown to the site it is because of three key people. Laura helped created the original site and was enormous help in posting news during the early years. Michelle contributed an enormous amount of scans from her Jude website that she merged with Brilliance in July of 2004. And Alex was incredibly helpful in posting news, articles, and images from July 2004 to September 2006.
Additionally, every single person who has sent an email of support or who has sent information and images have all contributed towards making Brilliance what is today.
