Field of Dreams

Kevin Costner knows what works for him and he’s going back there.

Following duds like last year’s Swing Vote (we still have nightmares about that torture), Costner is in talks to produce a new TV mini-series about the Wild West in post-Civil War America.

The Oscar-winning history buff plans to direct and star in the series, which will study settlement in the western United States.

You know, around the same time some of the best films of his career was set.

No, not The Bodyguard or Field of Dreams (our personal favorite).

From the Technicolor green grass to the glow of dozens of 1500 watt bulbs, there’s nothing like standing in a stadium, a puddle of discarded peanut shells and Cracker Jack boxes at your feet, indulging in a seventh inning stretch.

There is a majesty intrinsic to the baseball diamond and Sugar, written and directed by Half Nelson’s Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, is perhaps the first film to ever truly capture its cruel, taunting allure.
