Production crew of 'Gettysburg 1863' spotted filming in historic Pennsylvania sites.
The cast and crew of the upcoming film "Gettysburg 1863" have been seen capturing scenes at iconic locations in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, over the past few weeks. The production, an independent film centered on the pivotal Union victory, has been setting up shop around the battlefield and other historic sites.
The Shriver House Museum, which was occupied by Confederate Army sharpshooters during the battle, saw its original gas lamp lit for the first time in over 100 years as part of the film. Similarly, the Dobbin House Tavern, a stop on the Underground Railroad before serving as a field hospital for soldiers wounded in the battle, cleared its parlor and study to accommodate "the shooting of several scenes."
In another scene, crew members were spotted covering a downtown street with dirt to replicate the unpaved roads of 1863. The Gettysburg Film Commission recently shared behind-the-scenes footage from these locations.
"Gettysburg 1863" boasts an impressive cast, including Stephen Lang as John L. Burns, who jumped onto the Union side of the battlefield when his town was invaded by the war, alongside co-stars Bruce Boxleitner and Samuel Roukin. The project's writer-director, Bo Brinkman, also appeared in the 1993 "Gettysburg" film.
Filming for the movie has been ongoing since last fall, with an expected release date of late 2026.

. Can't they just use CGI or something? And why do they need to film on location if it's not going to make a huge difference in the final product? They're probably trying to milk some extra publicity out of it by showing off their "authentic" settings 
.
. It's just another example of how the tourism industry is cashing in on our history, rather than actually preserving it for future generations 
.
. Like, who needs CGI when you can just cover a street with dirt and call it a day? And hey, kudos to the Shriver House Museum for letting them turn their gas lamp back on after being off for over 100 years - that's some serious dedication to historical accuracy 
. But let's be real, how much of this film is actually gonna be accurate? I mean, even with an impressive cast and all, it's still just a movie 
I mean, can you imagine walking around those same streets and buildings where history happened? It's giving me major goosebumps just thinking about it 
. And the fact that they're recreating the gas lamp at the Shriver House Museum is just amazing - I'm sure it must feel like stepping back in time 
. But what really gets me excited is that it's not just some touristy thing, it's actually a film crew doing their thing! 
. She said it was so cheesy but now every time we see someone wearing it, we all just crack up. I'm pretty sure the crew from that new Gettysburg film must be getting some inspiration from her t-shirt or something! Anyway, back to the Gettysburg film... have you guys ever seen any of the other "Gettysburg" movies? Like, what's your favorite one?
! I've always been fascinated by the history behind that epic battle and now we get to see it come alive on screen 
. Those historic homes like the Shriver House Museum and Dobbin House Tavern are literally going to be transformed into settings for the film - can you even imagine walking in those same rooms where soldiers once camped? 
It's giving me major historical drama vibes, like 'The Crown' or something... 
. I've already added that movie to my watchlist and I'm counting down the days till it drops in 2026! 
meanwhile back at school our american history test is coming up and I'm already stressing about it 
have you seen the shriver house museum? it's like, super cool to think that they're filming parts of this movie there 
i always wonder how ppl lived b4 electricity tho. like in this movie they lit up the shriver house with a gas lamp lol is it really hard to do that? can someone show me pls? 
. The cast looks interesting too, Stephen Lang is super talented. Fingers crossed they do justice to the story and history of Gettysburg 
Can't wait to catch this one!
... i mean, can't they just leave these places alone? the shriver house museum is already struggling to stay afloat, and now they're using it as some kinda film prop? and what's with all these fake dirt streets? who's gonna be able to tell that's not real anymore after 20 years of them being there?
