I hate to burst anyone's bubble here (especially on Christmas Day, a Very Merry Christmas to everyone, by the way), but I just saw Jeff Shaara on CSPAN2 last night. He said that people have told him on several occasions that there is a move afoot to get "Last Full Measure" released. He said that actually it is more wishful thinking at this point than anything. There has been no move by Turner (I guess he's still hurting for cash) to do so, and any work on a movie requires Shaara's signature. So far no one has come to him to ask for the rights to do a movie, either. This speech, dated 11/9/04, about his WWI book, was punctuated by questions about the ACW trilogy by his Dad and him.
