Kevin Costner and Ray Liotta as Ray Kinsella and Shoeless Joe Jackson talking on the baseball field in Field of Dreams
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. In news that might leave fans of Field of Dreams and Chris Pratt wondering what could have been, it has been revealed that the Guardians of the Galaxy star was almost the lead in a television reboot of the beloved 1989 baseball film.
According to a new report from Puck, the Peacock series was set to be an ambitious project with a budget of $15 million per episode. The series would have featured Fenway Park in Boston as one of its key locations, and in addition to Pratt, it was to include a star-studded ensemble of actors who have previously worked with Schur.
Why Did the 'Field of Dreams' TV Adaptation Fall Apart? However, despite the promising setup, the project hit a snag when Pratt abruptly exited. Schur soon followed, leaving the project without its driving creative force and its leading man. With the show's enormous budget, Peacock was not confident in moving forward under the new leadership of Bill Heck, leading to the project's eventual cancellation.
The series had all the ingredients to become a massive hit, especially with Schur's proven track record and the inclusion of Pratt, who has been selective about his TV roles since Parks and Recreation ended in 2015. The only major television role Pratt has taken on since then is the lead in Prime Video's The Terminal List, which has already spawned a sequel series, indicating his potential impact on the Field of Dreams project had he remained attached.
