Here's the latest from Jeff Shaara's site:

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 The 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. Jeff Shaara

The problem is Gods and Generals should have been made as a tv mini series like Turner did for Andersonville. Believe it or not, it would have been easier to digest over several nights than a nearly 4 hour movie. Movies pushing the 3 hour mark have a hard enough time finding an audience (Grindhouse being the latest disaster 7 years ago). The Last Full Measure needs to be made and made for a tv audience.

I agree. I didn't dislike the film but I always thought that it seemed choppy. You don't seem to transition from one time frame to the next easily.

The Director's Cut cleans a lot of that up and adds more depth to the story.
