Just stumbled upon this, from over a year ago:

"The production company ... will next tackle the story of Paul Revere and William Dawes, and the famous ride the pair took before the battles of Lexington and Concord, in a new project called "Midnight Riders."

Executives at the firm, the American Film Co., say they have bought rights to "Paul Revere's Ride," a book from Pulitzer Prize winner David Hackett Fischer, and hired screenwriters Robert Ramsey and Matthew Stone ("Intolerable Cruelty") to write the script for "Midnight Riders." The company, whose creative mission involves making movies about U.S. history, is close to settling on a director."

No mention on the American Film Co. website anything about this project.

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775
