He was then Associate Producer on the Academy Award-nominated Field Of Dreams (1989) directed by Phil Alden Robinson and starring Kevin Costner and K-9 (1989) starring James Belushi. In 1990, Levin was Executive Producer on both Die Hard 2: Die Harder and Predator 2. In 1991, he produced The Rocketeer directed by Joe Johnson and starring Billy Campbell and Jennifer Connelly.
