“Ali” screenwriters Stephen J. Rivele and Christopher Wilkinson have signed with Gersh. They were previously repped by CAA.
The writing pair is currently working on the screenplay for “Jonestown” for Overbrook Entertainment at Sony as well as “The Green Wave” (formerly called “Mulkey”) for director-producer Michael Tollin (“Radio”), ESPN and New Line.
Rivele and Wilkinson co-wrote the script for “Nixon,” which earned them Oscar nominations for original screenplay along with director Oliver Stone. They also wrote “Copying Beethoven” and worked on the script for the forthcoming Columbia release, “Moneyball.”
The writers are additionally repped by attorney David Weber of Sloane Offer Weber & Dern.
