Right now there are at least three different BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS MOVIE PROJECTS in the works. That January 8, 1815 battle was the culmination of 10 different battles fought during the ROYAL NAVY'S GULF CAMPAIGN. The first battle of this famed military expedition occurred around Dauphin Island as well as the last battle of  not only the New Orleans campaign but also of the entire WAR OF 1812.  The British attempt to capture New Orleans began September 15, 1814 on Mobile Point  with the Battle of Fort Bowyer and it didn't end until five months later when the Royal Navy finally took Fort Bowyer from the Americans on February 12, 1815 ; only to get news the next day that the war was over. THE U.S-GREAT BRITAIN ALLIANCE, the greatest alliance the world has ever known, began over 200 years ago on the deck of a British warship anchored off Dauphin Island with the shaking of hands. http://www.nola.com/tv/index.ssf/2015/12/sean_penn_to_portray_andrew_ja.html
