has anyone tried to write a script for "The Last Full Measure"? i'd be interested in helping to write one, if anyone else has an iterest
I'm all for writing scripts, and believe that I may be able to help out best in that area; however, I like the idea that Swanny mentioned, about re-doing Gods and Generals.

But first, re-edit Gods and Generals re-release it- add the Antietam scenes in it, take some of the focus off Jackson and give it to Lee-take out the PC crap and speeches. What happened to the friendship between Hancock and Armistead before the war?
The movie should be made and I'm glad that Ted Turner has severed ties with Maxwell.
I am all for doing something like this; your ideas sound promising.

And get a younger John Bell Hood for Pete's sake the man was in his mid to late thirty's, not an old man.
Thank you! I had always hoped that someone else besides me noticed this (and was bothered by it). I cannot remember the actor they had play him in G&G (it wasn't the same one as they had in Gettysburg, was it??), but I was absolutely appalled by their choice of the actor to play Hood in Gettysburg--they made it seem like he was 50+ or something when in actuality he was in his early 30's (31 if I'm not misremembering). Very upsetting.

Every movies starts in someone's head as a dream and with some courage and push and a little bit of luck and a lot of money it gets made. Why not campaign to try to get this movie made. And made right! If Turner owns it and wants to finance it, why not try to push to get the right people to make it?
I am all for working with a group of people to help get this job accomplished. I know that for many of us--perhaps all of us--our schedules may not allow us much time for this; but if this is truly a dream of ours, I believe we will be able to get it done no matter the obstacles. I cannot tell you of the passion that comes with creativity, of having something that originates in your mind be manifest before you by your own hand; I have written but two novels and there is simply no words to describe the feelings that came with the act of writing these stories. These were the only times in my life where I felt I had truly lived.
Anyway, if anything ever comes of this, I would want nothing more than to help in any way I can.
