Original Field Of Dreams Movie Posters

Field Of Dreams movie posters — Field of Dreams (1989) — Phil Alden Robinson's fantasy drama starring Kevin Costner as an Iowa farmer who builds a baseball diamond in his cornfield at the instruction of a disembodied voice — produced a campaign that had to sell a film about grief, fathers, and second chances dressed as a baseball fantasy, to an audience that might reasonably have found its premise absurd. Purchase original Field of Dreams theatrical materials for one of the most sincerely sentimental American films of the decade. Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe Jackson, James Earl Jones as the reclusive author Terence Mann, and Burt Lancaster in his penultimate role as a doctor who once dreamed of playing professionally all appear in campaign materials that match the film's emotional register: warm, autumnal, quietly extraordinary. The one-sheet's central image — Costner in the cornfield, the baseball diamond glowing in the evening light — communicates the film's specific brand of American pastoral fantasy with a directness that has made it one of the most recognizable images in late 1980s American cinema advertising. The film received three Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture — a recognition that the campaign had to both anticipate and respond to. Re-release materials from the 1990s and 2000s reflect the film's ongoing position as one of the defining works of American pastoral nostalgia, with the cornfield imagery reproduced on merchandise and promotional materials that have themselves become collectors' items. Original first-run theatrical materials from the 1989 Universal campaign are increasingly difficult to source. Browse alongside our Drama and Adventure collections.
