Josh Stolberg

UTA has nabbed writer Josh Stolberg.

Stolberg co-penned one of the biggest specs sold by an unproduced writing team, "The Passion of the Ark," which Sony purchased in April for $1.5 million against $2.5 million.

Stolberg also sold the romantic comedy spec "Good Luck Chuck" to New Line, and was recently hired to write the comedy "Speed Dating," along with Bobby Florsheim, for director Luke Greenfield and 20th Cen-tury Fox/New Regency Prods.

In addition, Stolberg has wrapped his first directorial feature, "Kids in America," starring Elizabeth Perkins, Samantha Mathis and "Everwood's" Gregory Smith.

He is managed by Corner of the Sky Entertainment, the management-production shingle headed by former agent Dave Phillips.
