Narnia producers Perry Moore, Mark Johnson, Doug Gresham, and Phil Steuer
Perry Moore, the executive producer at Walden Media and of the three Narnia movies died yesterday at age 39. He was found dead in his apartment in New York, probably due to an overdose of OxyContin. You can read more here.
His site, PerryMooreStories.com, says this about his involvement in Narnia:
Perry Moore is 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.
A longtime production executive for Walden Media, Moore was instrumental in bringing The Chronicles of Narnia series to the company. After landing the rights to the C. S. Lewis series, he moved into a production deal with the company. The film represents his first as a motion picture executive producer.
In addition to his work in production and development, The CS Lewis Company appointed Moore to write The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion, a New York Times Bestseller.
I have read the LWW Movie Companion. It is one of my favorite books! I’d encourage you to read it also. Perry Moore did a great job.
He continues his role as executive producer of Prince Caspian, due to be released in 2008, and will continue with the third in the Narnia franchise, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. He is such a rabid fan of the Chronicles of Narnia, he hopes to see all seven books in the series adapted into films.
Perry Moore was instrumental in bringing the Narnia books to film, and he hoped to see all seven made. I pray they will all be made, in honor of him. Thanks, Perry, for all you did to make Narnia come to life.
We at AslansCountry.com offer our sincere condolences to his family.
this is awful news…..
praying for his family
Realmente siempre es tragica cualquier muerte, pero en estos casos duele mas, pues se ha marchado muy joven dejando proyectos magnanimos inconclusos.
Really always any death is tragic, but in these cases it hurts mas, since it has left very young leaving magnanimous incomplete projects.
Thank you for the translation. I agree with you. But we (and his family and friends) can be glad for the huge projects that he did accomplish.
I am sorry to hear of your loss, I am certainly am praying for his family.
May the Lion be with his family as they grieve the unexpected loss. I will remember him when I watch the beautiful movies he helped bring to life and when I read the books. I hope he was welcomed to the Lion’s Country.
Poor guy, hope his family’s OK. And does this means there will be no Narnia 4?
Don’t worry. Just because he unexpectedly and sadly passed away, doesn’t mean The Silver Chair movie won’t come. A new executive producer would just have to be found. I hope The Silver Chair could be made in memory of him.
This does not mean there won’t be a Narnia 4, but we will probably have to wait a little longer now before we hear anything. I do hope they will make Silver Chair in memory of him.
i’m sorry about what happened : (

I do hope they make Silver Chair or Magician’s Nephew in his memory. What ever they decide to make next for the Chronicles.
Did anyone notice in this article about Perry Moore that he apparently told his family the night before that he had just secured financing for an adaptation of “The Magician’s Nephew”??!!

My prayers go out to the family of Mr. Moore. What a great loss. I pray the rest of the books will be able to be brought to the screen and I am sure that Mr. Perry Moore will be there in spirit. His loss will be greatly felt by all who knew him. In great faith, I will look forward to the next Narnia movie with great anticipation. Thank you Mr. Perry Moore for three awesome movies. The rest will be an honor to your name I believe.
this very sad. yesterday I watched LWW knowing that the executive producer died. thank you Perry Moore for your great work! It was you, who made the first film happen! May the lord be with you and may you enter in his country!
Oh..So unexpected..Praying for his family and SC should be dedicated to him..I thank God for his life and for helping bring Narnia to life..I sincerely hope he was saved and was welcomed in heaven..
Hope he had repented before his death. A Gay lifestyle certainlty not acceptable for entry into Aslan’s Country.
I thought the date was wrong when I read the headline . It’s easy to mistake his name for ‘PATTY MOORE’.
my dearest condolences to his family: (
