Exclusive: Longtime Wme literary agent David Lubliner is moving to UTA.
Lubliner is a stalwart agent who has worked with top-tier clients including About a Boy director and writer Chris Weitz, Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer, Manchester by the Sea’s Kenneth Lonergan, Empire Ep Ilene Chaiken, Dear White People‘s Justin Simien and Unsolved:The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G Ep and director Anthony Hemingway.
This is happening in real time, and it remains to be seen who of that list will end up making the shift over to UTA with Lubliner.
The motion picture lit agent himself was on a list of a number of agents who were thought to be on the move by year’s end. Clearly, today Lubiner is the first of that list to land at a new home.
