Taylor Sheridan to Produce & Direct Alamo Battle Film for New Museum

April 7, 2026

Lt. Gov. Patrick & Sheridan Agree to Film Project

AUSTIN - The new Alamo Visitor Center and Museum in San Antonio will house the most technologically advanced 4D Theater in the world - a state-of-the-art immersive experience designed to recreate the story of the Battle of the Alamo. Dynamic visual effects, sound, and physical elements will help visitors gain a deeper understanding of the siege nearly 190 years ago.

Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said today:

"Once I saw the plan for the theater, I knew there was only one screenwriter, film producer, and director in the world to make this film for the Alamo Museum - Taylor Sheridan. Over the last decade, Taylor has told the story of the American west - the people, the land, the depth, and the history - in a way no other filmmaker has. In addition to his amazing film portfolio, Taylor is a native Texan who knows and loves our state and its history.

"I reached out to Taylor and asked if he would consider filming and directing this historic project at the Alamo. Despite his incredible schedule, he did not hesitate before enthusiastically answering yes."

"The Alamo is the very bedrock Texas was founded upon. To chronicle the sacrifice made by the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives defending the Alamo is an honor I eagerly accept," Taylor Sheridan said.

"This is an amazing gift from Taylor, and a big win for Texas, from this iconic and gifted storyteller, screenwriter, and director. He has agreed to join us in telling the story of the Battle of the Alamo for the millions who will visit the Alamo in the years to come," Patrick added. "I am reaching out to the Board of the Alamo Trust, who is managing the Alamo restoration plan, and I know they will be as excited as I am about this opportunity."

The Alamo Visitor Center and Museum is scheduled to open in 2027.
