EXCLUSIVE: Adam Weinstein has left ICM to join Verve. Weinstein, brother of Verve co-founder Bill Weinstein, is a motion picture literary agent who began his career at UTA and moved to ICM in 2009. His list includes director Colin Treverrow and writer Derek Connolly, writers-directors David Posamentier and Geoff Moore, and David Bowers. He was involved in packaging such films as Safety Not Guaranteed, Better Living Through Chemistry and the Diary Of A Wimpy kid franchise. ”We are thrilled to have Adam join our team,” the partners said in a statement. “His personality and drive combined with his eye for talent and outstanding relationships makes him a natural fit for our business.”
Weinstein is the third agent added by Verve this year. ”I am excited to be working with friends and family, but most importantly at a great company,” Weinstein said.
As for ICM, the agency wished him well.

Great guy, great energy and a very talented Agent. Congratulations Adam on getting out of that cesspool. I was wondering when you would make the move.
i guess hes going to have to continue working as french stuart’s stand in until he makes enough commission at verve to pay his bills. lol

Sorry but agents are not “talented.” They are not live performers and they do not create original artistic material. Good agents are “hard working” and “straight shooters” and “have a great taste” and are “passionate advocates,” but they’re NOT talented. Their job is to REPRESENT talent, not BE the talent.
This is not a surprise move. And it’s the smart one. ICM’s feature side is dwindling and it’s only a matter of time before the Emile Gladstone’s of the world have their contract’s come due and they jump ship for more money and more stability elsewhere. Congrats to Adam and more power to him.
Man, I remember when he was a junior at UTA, that boy HUSTLED…
Great for him!!!! He’ll do great at Verve….was always a pleasure doing business with him.

Adam is a very smart and good guy. He is honestly much more of an agent than most were at ICM, and is only on to bigger and better things. Congrats to Adam, his clients and Verve.
Great company for a great agent. Good luck Adam!
Another awesome move for VERVE! Adam is the best. He will be a great addition to VERVE both in the office and on the softball field. His motivational speeches are unparalleled. VERVE is taking over…
Weinstein sells specs like it’s 1996. Great guy.
Sounds like a win for all parties. Verve rocks and Adam will be a great asset to their team.
great agent, hilarious man and one hell of a softball player.
good move by Verve — they need the dudes.
It is over for the ICM feature biz. This is like the 10th agent to leave in a year.
Adam is a rock star and any company would be lucky to have him.
The hardest working man in show biz. Kid’s a superstar. Smart move.
Adam is an awesome guy and a great agent. Most people don’t know that he also inspired the Dreamworks movie, SHREK.
Verve is lucky to have Adam! Awesome on all fronts.
who will be left standing in the ICM MP Lit department? shocking that doug maclaren is still there. get out now!!!
Great move Adam and congrats on your new venture!
This is great news for Adam and it’s good to see the brothers under one roof! Mazal tov!
Adam is a great agent and good dude. Verve is recruiting wisely- good people! I just like working with them and their clients are awesome. Good luck adam!
Devastating loss for us
Bread Bar will be feeling this loss too. All love for Mr. Weinstein, one of the friendliest funniest agents around.
Adam is a good guy and a good agent. And bless him for havng a sense of humor. One of the people you like doing business with. Verve’s got some good folks over there…
Congrats! And guy looks like Brian Stern.
Wow. Adam Weinstein MUST be a good guy. Nary a negative or snarky post about him in this thread. That just might be a “Deadline” record.
Way to go, Adam — and a hearty congrats, bro.
There isn’t a more lovable asshole in all of show business.
Adam is a brilliant up and coming agent who’s built a sharp list of new directors and writers, has great taste and tremendous work ethic and charm. Verve’s rise continues. When will next gen WME/CAA/UTA agents man up and show some balls.
VERVE!!! Killing it!!
