in the 1993 film adaptation of shaara's novel, retitled "gettysburg", lieutenant colonel fremantle is portrayed by james lancaster. his character changes little from the book, once again engaging in important discussions with general longstreet and his officers on the confederacy's relations with the united kingdom. however his appearance is substantially different from reality: in the movie he is shown in a scarlet british uniform sipping tea from a china cup, whereas, being in an unofficial capacity, he was dressed in a "gray shooting-jacket" and had been living rough like many others in the country.
