LINCOLN'S ARMY: FIGHTING BRIGADES OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC" about the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War… a new documentary-drama about the Freedom Warrior - Harriet Tubman… a large-scale and long-term, feature-length documentary project about the Virginia Military Institute during the Civil War will shoot in 2011 and 2012 for a 2013 release… a new documentary DVD release for mid-2011 telling the story of General George Washington and his combat victories, as well as his challenges during the American Revolution… a DVD detailing the “how to” and history of Civil War Bugles, Fifes and Drums. There’s possibly more than in this list for the next year+, so keep checking in with us!

November 19, 2009 Update -- LionHeart FilmWorks and Glory Road Productions in California have recently inked a three film production and distribution deal for three of LionHeart's feature projects: "THE NIGHTMARE", "THE BASCOM HOME GUARD", and "THE SOCCER MOMSTER".

The Soccer Momster  Website"The Soccer Momster," written by WGA-Award nominee Jeffrey Rubin, is a modern-day Family sports fantasy feature, and potentially the first project to go before the cameras...

The Nightmare Movie Website"The Nightmare," based on an original story by John D. Pagano, is a new take on The Legend of Sleepy Hollow legend, placing young author Washington Irving as a participant in the true, nightmarish events in 1809...

The Boscom Home Guard Website"The Bascom Home Guard" (based on an actual event) is a Civil War story -- as Sherman's Army burns its way across Georgia, a village of women, left alone after the war has taken their sons and husbands, forms a militia with pitchforks and rusty flintlocks to defend their town.

For the slate, Glory Road's President and Owner, Michael Reymann is set to Produce and LionHeart's Kevin R. Hershberger is set to Direct and Produce. Filming for the first project is scheduled to begin in the spring/summer of 2011, and the plan is to shoot the three pictures nearly back-to-back into late 2012.
