Josh Friedman (born 1967) is an American screenwriter best known as the writer of the 2005 adaptation of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. His most recent screenplay is an adaptation of James Ellroy's book about the Black Dahlia killing titled The Black Dahlia.
Friedman's spec screenplay Orphan's Dawn, a science fiction epic, is in development at 20th Century Fox, and he is developing a television version of The Terminator.
Friedman also publishes the popular blog "I Find Your Lack of Faith Disturbing." After being offered an opportunity to work on a script titled Snakes on a Plane, Friedman posted a blog entry[1] that sparked interest in the film on the Internet before it even entered production. The same entry also introduced a profane line that was actually added to the film when the cast re-convened in March 2006 to shoot additional footage to bring the film up to an "R" rating.
