Taylor Sheridan to Create 4D Alamo Battle Film for San Antonio Museum Opening 2028
In San Antonio, Texas, the new Alamo Visitor Center and Museum is set to debut in spring 2028, featuring a 4D film directed by Taylor Sheridan, the mind behind Yellowstone. Construction of the expansive 160,000-square-foot facility commenced in 2024, with the structural framework finalized by late March 2023. The museum's highlight will be its state-of-the-art 4D theater. Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick commended Sheridan for his exceptional suitability for this endeavor.
