Fox News
A look at the cast of "Field of Dreams, including Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta and James Earl Jones, as the Academy Award-nominated movie celebrates 35 years.
The iconic, Academy Award-nominated movie was brought back into the spotlight during this year's Oscars in March, when comedian John Mulaney, who was presenting the award for best sound, joked about the 1989 film starring Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta and James Earl Jones, giving an overly long explanation of the movie’s plot.
"What about that moment in ‘Field of Dreams’ where we hear 'If you build it, he will come,' and then Costner does it, he builds a baseball field," Mulaney said while discussing the importance of sound in films. "Or I guess he doesn't build it — he mows down corn, and then there is a field, and he's like, 'I'm going to watch ghosts play baseball,' and the bank is like, 'You wanna pay your mortgage?' And he's like, 'Nah, I'm gonna watch ghosts play baseball.'"
