Biography

Perry Moore was a best-selling author, film producer, screenwriter, and director, best known as the executive producer of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Moore grew up in Virginia Beach, Virginia and attended Norfolk Academy. He majored in English at the University of Virginia, where he was an Echols Scholar.

A longtime fan of children's literature and comic books, Moore's first novel, Hero, the first of a fantasy series about a group of modern-day superheroes, tells the story of the world's first gay teen superhero. A big screen adaptation is in the works with Stan Lee.

Moore died on February 17, 2011, at the age of 39, of an apparent overdose of pain medication at his home in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan.
