Its OK, those brainy fuckers at imdb answered it within 2 minutes.
Ask 'em porn, they ain't got a clue.....so makes 'us and them' equal on that score.

The title would have been called, The Last Full Measure. From what I've read, financing fell through and the movie was scrapped.
and from a website;

REGARDING "THE LAST FULL MEASURE":

Many of you have written, asking if the film version of this book is being produced, to complete the Civil War trilogy. Unfortunately, because of the poor box office results for "Gods and Generals", Ted Turner has dropped all plans to finance a film version of "Last Full Measure". Someone else may yet step forward, but so far, no one in Hollywood has shown interest. Despite the many rumors to the contrary, I'm sorry to say that no film is now in the works.

It's a subject that American film-makers should have taken to their hearts, but no one really has. Perhaps because for many parts of the States it is still being fought (albeit in debate rather than on a battlefield).

Glory was a fantastic film. Spielberg is working on a Lincoln biopic (with Liam Neeson as Abe), so the conflict will be represented there too.
