Swank and Costner to narrate 9/11 film

A film investigating the 2001 Twin Tower attacks in New York City will feature the voices of Hollywood stars Hilary Swank and Kevin Costner.

Swank and Costner will be sharing the role of narrator for On Native Soil: The Documentary of the 9/11 Commission Report.

Swank, who has won Oscars for her roles in films such as Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby, said in a statement: "I was in lower Manhattan that horrible day. I was drawn to the project by the amazing stories of the 9/11 families and survivors featured in the film."

Meanwhile, Costner, the star of Tin Cup, JFK and Dances With Wolves, commented: "I saw this film in a rough cut and wanted to become involved. It's honest, it's serious and it's not political. This film tells stories every American will and should want to know."

The film documents the story of five survivals, as well as investigating the proposals of the 9/11 Commission.
