Tom Hanks comes to New Orleans for opening of new WWII Museum theater and 4-D documentary film
By APWednesday, November 4, 2009
NEW ORLEANS — Tom Hanks is scheduled to be there when the National World War II Museum in New Orleans debuts the war film he produced to immerse audiences with all their senses in key battles.
The film “Beyond All Boundaries” will be shown exclusively at the museum’s new Victory Theater, which includes elements billed as “4-D” such as wind and shaking seats to accent vintage footage from Pearl Harbor and the Battle of the Bulge playing on a 120-foot-wide screen.
The theater was built for the film as part of a $300 million expansion of the museum that is expected to continue through 2015.

Two other museum additions — a canteen that will feature musical revues inspired by USO-style productions and a restaurant called The American Sector — are also opening Friday.

Beyond All Boundaries was an exciting project for Audio By The Bay to work on due to the top level of talent involved. Also, many of us who worked on the film involved our relatives who fought in WW2 as featured veterans, including my father-in-law, Vernon “Vern” Leo Tyler, & my partner’s father, Paul Freeman, Sr. Our company, Audio By The Bay, did the Music Production and Sound Design for Beyond All Boundaries.
