Levinson gets Sundance treatment
- Film buffs in this area have faithfully followed Barry Levinson’s career for as long as he has faithfully chronicled Baltimore in his movies. And for the 65-year-old screenwriter, producer and director, that’s been since 1982, when he wrote and directed “Diner” — the first of three films set in his hometown in the early 1960s. The Forest Park High graduate earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay for “Diner,” which included in its cast Mickey Rourke, Kevin Bacon and Daniel Stern.
