NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Tom Hanks, Patricia Clarkson and James Cromwell walked the red carpet Thursday before a private screening of the Hanks-produced war film "Beyond All Boundaries" held at the World War II Museum in New Orleans.
The film, which includes "4-D" elements such shaking seats, opens to the public on Friday and will be shown exclusively at the museum's new Victory Theater. The theater is part of the museum's $300 million expansion project that will continue through 2015.
Clarkson and Cromwell were among more than a dozen celebrities who lent their voices to the documentary: Clarkson as the voice of Marguerite Higgins, a New York Herald Tribune correspondent, and Cromwell as the voices of Maj. Gen. Alexander Archer Vandegrift and Fleet Adm. William Halsey.
Also opening Friday are a new canteen that will showcase musical revues inspired by USO-style productions and a restaurant that will be overseen by chef John Besh.
