By SUSANNE AULT

Wendy Finerman Prods. ("Forrest Gump," "Stepmom") is beefing up operations -- tapping Gary Goodman as veep of production, hiring Jennifer Goldstein as a new creative exec and opening a Gotham-based office.

Goodman will set up projects for WFP under its new three-year production pact with Fox 2000, inked in February of this year.

Most recently, Goodman was a production exec at Interscope Communications. He has also worked in creative development at DreamWorks and assisted producer Scott Rudin.

In her new post, Goldstein will supervise the opening of the production company's New York digs. She will scope out literary properties, emphasizing nonfiction articles, fiction and theater.

Goldstein most recently was a literary scout at Mary Anne Thompson Associates. She has also worked in literary affairs and development at Mandalay Entertainment.

"With our recent move to Fox 2000, we have a great opportunity to do exciting new things," Finerman said. "With Gary in Los Angeles and Jennifer in New York, we have creative input coming from both coasts."

WFP is producing New Line Cinema-distributed "Sugar and Spice," slated to start filming this month.
