Over the years I & many of my compatriots in the living history community have discussed this very subject, knowing full well that there are great stories out there that Hollywood would not have to fudge on to make exciting. For whatever reason they usually add or subtract for their own purposes 
Having said that, even if a historically accurate film was made, they'd usually have to condense the time frame to fit the story into a two or three hour time frame
