Copperhead is an
independent American film directed by Ronald F. Maxwell. It stars Billy
Campbell who replaced Jason Patric partway through filming.[2] The film had the
working title, Copperhead: The War at Home. Filmed at Kings Landing Historical
Settlement and set in upstate New York,[3] it was released June 28, 2013.
Copperhead is the third in a series of Civil War films by the director, Ronald
F. Maxwell, though the director does not consider it to be part of the trilogy
he has planned along with Gettysburg (1993) and Gods and Generals (2003), as he
expects to conclude the series with a final film based on Jeff Shaara's
"The Last Full Measure."[4]
The film is based on
a nineteenth-century short story, "The Copperhead", by Harold
Frederic. The title refers to Northern opponents of the American Civil War,
known as Copperheads.
