CHARLES ROVEN (Producer)
CHARLES ROVEN (Producer) has distinguished himself for nearly two decades as a motion picture producer. He is a co-founder of Atlas Entertainment and its affiliated companies, Atlas/Third Rail Management and Third Rail Records, which have become a part of Mosaic Media Group, an integrated multi-media film, television and management company.

In addition to producing Bulletproof Monk, Roven is completing post production on the live action version of Scooby-Doo starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini.

Roven took the reins of Atlas Entertainment and the other Atlas entities after an eight-year partnership with music manager Robert Cavallo, who left the companies in 1998 to become chairman of Buena Vista Music Group and Hollywood Records. The company's success also benefited from the talents of Roven's now-deceased wife, Dawn Steel, who joined the venture from her former post as president of Columbia Pictures.

One of the industry's most diverse filmmakers, Roven has spearheaded a broad slate of projects since the founding of Atlas Entertainment in 1990. He has either overseen production or served as a producer of Final Analysis, Honey, I Blew Up the Kids, Cool Runnings, Man's Best Friend, Sister Act II: Back in the Habit, Angus, Twelve Monkeys, Fallen, City of Angels and Three Kings. Roven began his career as a talent manager, subsequently bringing an attuned sensibility of working with artists to the realm of production.

While focusing on Mosaic's feature film activities, Roven also participates in the music management division. Currently, he has been involved in the production of the Scooby-Doo soundtrack, utilizing one of the division's most prolific bands, Outkast, for the debut single for the film's release. He is also noted for facilitating other synergy between the organization's music and film divisions. In 1998, the soundtrack for the motion picture City of Angels garnered three Grammy Awards, the coveted title of best-selling soundtrack of the year and #1 singles for Atlas/Third Rail clients Alanis Morissette and The Goo Goo Dolls.
