About Christopher Malpas

Christopher graduated from the University of Leeds with a BA in English Literature in 2020. He is still fairly new to the Screen Rant features writing team. He likes to write a variety of content, including too many Peaky Blinders features. Christopher’s love of film came from watching The Lord of The Rings on repeat when growing up; he is never more enthusiastic than when explaining to someone why the Eagles couldn’t have taken the Ring to Mordor. Outside of Screen Rant, he also writes fiction. Christopher once saw Simon Pegg at a Christmas market and thought it would be a good idea to walk past him quoting Shaun of the Dead. He now lives in Liverpool.
