(The version seen in the finished film is edited together out of select takes from those set-ups.) But the following morning, he showed up ready to preach… even though he wasn’t going to be on camera. That first day, Jones spoke the speech, or select portions of it, roughly 18 times across three different camera set-ups: a master shot with a crane, a medium close-up and a wide shot.
But I trusted him, and he was absolutely right.” I think it’s egotistical for this character to preach, and he’s not an egotist.’ My heart sank! I’d been waiting so long for this big, stentorian thing. “He told me, ‘I just want to say the words and underplay it.

Jones shared another piece of information with his director that morning: Even though the speech is written as a kind of a sermon, he had no intention of preaching it with full fire and brimstone. He told me that the morning that we shot that scene.” “Cece read the script and said to him, ‘Jimmy, there's a speech in here that will never make it into the final movie, but you’ve got to do this - it's great.’ And he felt the same way. Or, more accurately, it’s what convinced his late wife, Cecilia, that he should accept the role. In the past, Jones has said - and Robinson confirms - that Terence’s “people will come” speech is what convinced him to accept the role. I don’t think any explanation I could have come up with would be as good as ‘I don’t know.’” The lost James Earl Jones speech Who knows what goes on back there? I don’t have enough imagination to figure it out and I’m glad I don’t. He’s going to open it up and it’ll be the story Terence has written about what’s out there.’ But that’s as far as we got in terms of where they go. “He told me, ‘I have this image that next summer, Ray is going to be out there mowing the outfield grassy and a little paper airplane is going to come flying out of the corn. Jones also devised an epilogue of sorts for Terence that hints at his final destination. “So he went with that giggle in the scene, which is always a delight for me to see.” “James Earl asked me, ‘What do I feel when I disappear?’ And I told him, ‘I think it tickles,’” Robinson says, with a chuckle. That’s not because Shoeless Joe is making faces at him, though. Before he enters the corn, Terence peers through the stalks and starts chuckling. There is one definitive answer about Terence’s exit that Robinson did pass along to Jones. “After we shot the scene, his son asked him, ‘Daddy, what happens to you when you go into the corn?’ And he told him, ‘Infinity.’” Does it matter?’ And he said, ‘Nope.’” The actor’s young son, on the other hand, was also on set that day and wanted a bit more detail. “Before we shot that scene, I remember James Earl coming up to me and asking, ‘By the way, what happens to me when I go in the corn?’ And I said, ‘I have no idea. The actor had a practical reason for wanting to know, of course: At the end of the film, his own character - novelist Terence Mann - makes the choice to follow Shoeless Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta) and the other players into the cornfield.
It’s remarkable to me that we’re still talking about Field of Dreams.” Here are five remarkable things we learned about this one-of-a-kind movie.

“You always hope a movie is going to do well, but you can’t really count on that. “I’m always grateful for it,” Robinson tells Yahoo Entertainment. Because as the emotional final scene drives home, the real subject of the film isn’t baseball - it’s what parents can teach children and children can teach parents.
That date only makes sense as Field of Dreams isn’t just one of the most beloved sports movies of all time it’s also become a rite of passage that dads share with their sons and daughters. (An encore presentation is scheduled for June 18 visit Fandango or Atom Tickets for showtimes and ticket information.) In fact, they’ll have another chance this weekend, when Fathom Events and TCM Big Screen Classics hosts a special 30th Anniversary screening on June 16 - Father’s Day - in theaters across the country.
Three decades later, though, people have come back to Field of Dreams again… and again… and again. At the time, the writer/director was unaware whether anyone would ever show up in theaters the following April to see the finished film, despite the presence of major movie star Kevin Costner as a farmer who follows the suggestions of an ethereal voice and watches as the ghosts of baseball legends emerge from the corn to play on his field.
