Josh Stolberg ("Evan Almighty") penned the script. Mark Helfrich, hired last year by New Line to make his directorial debut, will remain with the project as well. GOOD LUCK CHUCK is rumored to have stalled at New Line over casting of the female lead. Lionsgate, which is eyeing a July start date, reportedly is considering Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel, among other thesps.
