RIP Perry Moore


Perry Moore, an executive producer of the Chronicles of Narnia dies at age 39. He was found unconscious in his Greenwich Village Apartment. It has also been reported that he might have committed suicide. But his death has been the result of overdose, so we can’t say with certainty that he committed suicide. They are waiting for the medical examiner report on the cause of the death, however.

Mr. Moore produced 3 Narnia movies based on the novels by C.S. Lewis. He also wrote a novel ‘Hero’ & it was a story about a gay superhero. He was himself gay & wanted to portray gay heroes in better light. According to him, more than 60 gay & lesbian comic book characters have been ignored, maimed or murdered.

His book also won a Lambda literary award as the best novel for gay & lesbian adults in 2008.

May his soul rest in peace!
