Word is that the upcoming
film version of
Cold Mountain will feature an extra-textual recreation of the
Battle of the Crater. The promise is of a "Saving Private Ryan"-type sequence, rather than the bloodless reenactments of
Gettysburg or the execrable Gods and Generals. The news is a little peculiar, due to
Cold Mountain's "deserter going home" plot, but welcome if accurate.
Glory is the only ACW film I've seen that actually felt like a war, rather than a pageant with blanks.
