...idea was to spice the old format with smart comers--Claire Danes (Romeo + Juliet), Omar Epps (Higher Learning) and Giovanni Ribisi (the medic in Saving Private Ryan)--and a screw-you modernity.

"At no time was the word deserter or any type of thing that could be alluded to as poison or toxic ever briefed during the mission briefings that we had," he said.
