During the production of _Gettysburg_, Michael Shaara's son, Jeff Shaara, was approached about writing a prequel and sequel to _The Killer Angels_, which he eventually agreed to do. The prequel, _Gods and Generals_, was later also adapted into a movie. Unfortunately, this was not received as well as _Gettysburg_ had been, leading to all plans to adapt the sequel, _The Last Full Measure_, being dropped. Jeff Shaara also wrote another prequel, _Gone for Soldiers_, about the Mexican War, featuring younger versions of many of the same characters.
