Scoop Feedback:

May 18, 1996... [Some developer and producing names supplied by 'Sylvester'.]

July 22, 1996... A possible plotline detail was told to us by this scoop reporter. The Bruce Willis character is "sort of aimlessly wandering the beach at Normandy" after the invasion. An officer walks up to Willis and asks him to lead a group of soldiers on a 'special' mission. William Wisher reportedly called it a story about "the last great crusade against evil." [Scoop reported by 'tshiley'.]

December 26, 1996... Paramount Pictures is the studio distributing this picture. [Scoop info provided by Matt Baron.]

January 18, 1997... We're sent a mysterious little information packet about Combat!. "Film opens on the assault on Normandy beach. Willis' character (SAUNDERS) is the only one who survives the beach landing, he is promoted to Sergeant and leads a crack squad in France.

"Also 'attached' to the project are John Goodman (LITTLEJOHN) and Quentin Tarantino." [Scoop sent in anonymously.]

February 8, 1998... A scooper tells us this project has just been placed on the Paramount $0 budget list -- meaning, it's been shelved. Will the project come back again in a different form? [Credit 'Capt. Doghouse'.]
