One of my favorite directors is heading back to his hometown to make his final feature of a series of film with a diner 
as the center of social activity. Barry Levinson is prolific writer-director. This time he will take his own novel “Sixty-Six,” a story about a group of characters coming of age in 1966 Baltimore on the eve of significant historical events such as the counterculture movement and the war in Vietnam.
Levinson will write the adaptation and direct the film.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the protagonist in “Sixty-Six” is a staffer at a local television station, whom some have noted is a stand-in for Levinson and his professional and personal life.
Sixty-Six completes the series of films in which Levinson contemplates the social dynamics in Baltimore at various periods throughout the 20th century. Beginning with 1983’s Diner set in a very different city of 1959, and covered similar subject matter in Avalon (1990), Tin Men (1987) and Liberty Heights (1999).
