Filming Underway for Gettysburg 1863, A New Take on the Battle that Changed History
The anticipation is building for an upcoming film about one of America's most pivotal moments in history - The Battle of Gettysburg. According to recent sightings by local authorities and enthusiastic social media posts from tourist attractions, the crew of 'Gettysburg 1863' has been hard at work on location in Pennsylvania.
The independent production team has been making a big impact around historic sites such as the Shriver House Museum, where Confederate Army sharpshooters once took cover. For the film, the museum lit its original gas lamp for the first time in over a century, setting the scene for an authentic 19th-century experience. In addition, a production team was seen digging up a downtown street to create the dirt roads of 1863.
Meanwhile, the historic Dobbin House Tavern has welcomed its own visitors - namely, film crew members. The tavern's parlor and study were cleared last week to accommodate filming for several scenes. A fascinating stop on the Underground Railroad before it served as a field hospital during the battle.
Starring Stephen Lang, best known for his role in 'Avatar,' 'Gettysburg 1863' tells the story of John L. Burns, a civilian who joined the Union cause when the war came to his hometown. Supporting actors include Bruce Boxleitner and Samuel Roukin. The project's writer-director, Bo Brinkman, has experience from working on the original 'Gettysburg' film.
The movie is expected to hit theaters in late 2026, bringing a fresh perspective to this pivotal moment in American history. Get ready for an immersive cinematic experience that promises to immerse viewers into the tumultuous world of The Battle of Gettysburg.

. I mean, we already have a gazillion movies and TV shows about the Civil War...and now we're gonna revisit it again? 
It's just another money grab, if you ask me. And what's up with the special effects? We'll be walking around like we're actually in 1863...no big deal, right? 
I'd rather stick to reading history books than watching some Hollywood rehash of the same old story. Give me a break! 
. And the story of John L. Burns is really fascinating too - never knew about a civilian like him who joined the Union cause... gives new perspective on the whole Civil War thing

. With an impressive cast, including Stephen Lang and Bruce Boxleitner, I have high expectations for the film's ability to engage audiences and spark meaningful conversations 
I think it's so cool how they're recreating the look and feel of 1863 at the Shriver House Museum, lighting up those gas lamps for real! It really adds to the immersive experience, you know? And can we talk about how awesome it is that a historic spot like the Dobbin House Tavern is being used as a filming location? I mean, it's already an Underground Railroad stop and now it gets to be part of this epic film too 
. I'm also stoked that they're trying to bring a fresh perspective to this moment in history – we all know how important Gettysburg was, but sometimes you want to see things from a different angle
