The TV series was supposed to be a reimagining of the original movie, in which Kevin Costner is led by a disembodied voice to build a huge baseball diamond in the corn field on his property.
The TV series would also be co-produced by The Gordon Company, who was behind the original film.
The series was supposed to be written and executive produced by Michael Schur, creator of The Good Place and co-creator of shows like Parks and Recreation and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
The exact reason behind the studio’s decision to pass on the project isn’t known, but it did have some serious creators behind it.
