Manager-producers Matt Luber, Lena Roklin and Larry Schapiro have joined forces to form the full-service management and production firm Luber Roklin Entertainment.
Luber and Schapiro were partners in Nine Yards Entertainment, while Roklin headed Roklin Management. The trio are partners in the new entity, with Luber and Roklin serving as co-heads. Schapiro is serving as COO and running the production division and record label.
Luber Roklin's client roster includes Paul Walker, Jaime Pressly, Adam Goldberg, Neal McDonough, Lauren Holly, Lindsay Price, Jenna Dewan, Billy Zane, Kevin Sorbo, Drew Tyler Bell and Joss Stone; directors Fred Durst, Scott Glosserman and Walt Becker; and writers Arthur Marcum and Matt Holloway, David Digilio and Zac Stanford.
Managers at the company include Alex Cole, Katie Mason, Tim Taylor and Mara Santino. Steve Crawford heads the literary department and is involved on the production side as well.
Luber and Roklin said the move to team up made sense.
"We had a desire to infuse new energy into the talent department, and there was no one better than Lena who could mesh well as a partner and complement everyone's skill set," said Luber, who also has been an executive producer on "Evan Almighty", "Into the Blue" and "Running Scared".
Added Roklin: "The business has changed, and you have to be more creative.

Former 'N Sync singer Lance Bass has sparked speculation he is homosexual and dating The Amazing Race reality TV star Reichen Lehmkuhl after the pair were spotted partying at gay bars together. Since the boy band leaped to fame in 1997, his bandmates Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone have been romantically linked to a host of female celebrities, but Bass' lovelife has remained low-key. The New York Post newspaper reported last week that Bass and Lehmkuhl - who won the 2003 prize in the Amazing Race with his former lover Chip Arndt - were together at gay bar Atlantic House in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Kevin Naff, managing editor of leading gay and lesbian newspaper The Washington Blade, tells ABC News, "Perhaps the Post is not outright saying Lance is gay. But by implication, we can all easily connect the dots." Naff says several bloggers on the newspaper's website have spotted Bass at a series of parties in Provincetown, a seaside gay hotspot. He adds, "If privacy is what Lance wants, that's something that's easy to have. But if you're Lance Bass, and you're going to the gayest town on the gayest day of the year and going to gay parties, you have to expect something." Bass' spokeswoman Cindy Owen and Lehmkuhl's spokeswoman Mara Santino have refused to comment on the Post reports.
