Major Hollywood Stars Join Epic Production for
National World War II Museum
Beyond All Boundaries opening in November at
WWII Museum in New Orleans
Sept. 7, 2009 - When it premieres November 6,
Beyond All Boundaries, the 4-D cinematic experience at The National
World War II Museum, will feature the voices of Hollywood's biggest
names portraying everyday soldiers and servicemen as they fought to
preserve our country's freedom, and the journalists who covered it in
their own words.
The exclusive production features an all-star cast
including Tom Hanks joined by Kevin Bacon, Corbin Bleu, Patricia
Clarkson, Kevin Connolly, James Cromwell, Blythe Danner, Viola Davis,
Jessie Eisenberg, John Goodman, Neil Patrick Harris, Kevin Jonas, Justin
Long, Tobey Maguire, Daran Norris, Wendell Pierce, Chris Pine, Brad
Pitt, Bill Sadler, Gary Sinise and Elijah Wood, among others.
"Beyond All Boundaries weaves a spectacular
tapestry of World War II – authentic, powerful and inspiring" said
Hanks. "I'm proud to have served as executive producer of Beyond All
Boundaries, and you can see it exclusively, every hour, at The
National World War II Museum in New Orleans."
Beyond All Boundaries is the latest in a
series of star-powered projects related to World War II. Hit movies like
Inglorious Basterds and HBO's upcoming TV series The Pacific have
reinvigorated international interest in WWII, and the Museum's epic is
yet another compelling example of the relevance of WWII today.
Created and crafted with 21st-century technology,
Beyond All Boundaries plunges viewers into the reality of
20th-century's most titanic struggle.
