Well, if anyone has a couple hundred million laying around that they don't know what to do with, I read several years ago that John Milius wanted to do "The Frontiersmen". Maybe if someone bankrolled that, he would also do "Wilderness Empire" and "The Conquerors". (OK, now I've done it. I'm probably not going to be able to sleep, thinking of the what it would be like to have Milius film Eckert....)

To have John Milius involved would definately give such an endevor the possibility of becoming another classic. At least you know he would get the guns/uniforms/accoutrments right.

One of his works, which you may most easily recognize was "The Rough Riders". Some of his earlier stuff includes "The Wind And The Lion", another great pre-WW1 film about the Morrocan Crisis, with a GREAT deal of Artistic License. All in all, though, an enjoyable movie.

Since I brought it up...
Milius as writer:
The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean
Jeremiah Johnson (heavily rewritten by Edward Anhalt)
Magnum Force
Apocalypse Now (heavily rewritten by Coppola)
Geronimo, An American Legend
Writer/Director:
Dillinger
The Wind and the Lion
Conan the Barbarian
Red Dawn
Farewell to the King
Flight of the Intruder
Rough Riders
He's taken some fair liberties with history in some cases, and some of his movies are more miss than hit, but he has great style, and a real dedication to technical details.

Aarrrgh!!!!, I knew I forgot about "Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean" and "Jeremiah Johnson", and how could I, they were both great movies to watch. I guess I had a "Middle-Age Moment".
