Screen editor Matt Mueller said: “I’ve always been a huge admirer of Charles’s editorial skillset and vast industry knowledge. Box office and the awards-season juggernaut are two facets of the industry where Charles’s insights have always been second to none, and I’m delighted he will continue to bring his vast experience to bear in both of these areas for Screen.”
