Field of Dreams sees Kevin Costner’s farmer Ray contact a reclusive author named Terence Mann (James Earl Jones). This is a change from the original novel Shoeless Joe, in which Ray meets a fictionalised version of an actual living author of the time: J.D. Salinger, writer of The Catcher in the Rye, and a notorious recluse in real life.
In the book, the writer Ray seeks out is real-life author J.D. Salinger. When Salinger threatened the production with a lawsuit if his name was used, Robinson decided to rewrite the character as reclusive Terence Mann. He wrote with James Earl Jones in mind because he thought it would be fun to see Ray trying to kidnap such a big man.
