Texas producer, director, and screenwriter Taylor Sheridan — whose growing catalog of entertainment projects includes Yellowstone, Landman, Tulsa King, and the soon-to-be-released Frisco King — wants everyone to remember the Alamo.

At the invitation of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Sheridan will tell the story of the Battle of the Alamo for an immersive 4D movie to be shown at the Alamo Visitor Center and Museum, which is set to open in 2028.

“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,” Sheridan says in a news release issued by Patrick’s office.

Sheridan’s Battle of the Alamo project promises to be epic simply because the battle itself was epic. The 13-day conflict in 1836 was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution. In a one-sided defeat, the Mexican army prevailed, killing the roughly 200 Alamo defenders and one-third of the roughly 1,800 Mexican soldiers. Much of the mission was destroyed as well.

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,” Patrick said. “In addition to his amazing film portfolio, Taylor is a native Texan who knows and loves our state and its history.”

Sheridan’s re-creation of the Battle of the Alamo will be a key attraction for visitors to the $185 million Alamo Visitor Center and Museum. Nearly 160,000 square feet will be taken up by the 4D theater and more than 5,000 artifacts, including over 400 from the Phil Collins Texana Collection. Today, the Alamo draws more than 1.6 million visitors a year, making it the state’s No. 1 tourist attraction.

Over the years, the Alamo has been the star of several films and TV shows. Most notably, John Wayne portrayed Davy Crockett in the 1960 movie The Alamo. A 2004 reboot of the same name featured Billy Bob Thornton as Crockett and Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston. Other projects paying tribute to the Alamo include The Alamo: 13 Days to Glory a 1987 TV movie, and Alamo: The Price of Freedom, a 1988 documentary-style IMAX film.
