Narnia Producer Perry Moore Found Dead
It is with great sadness that we report the news today that Narnia producer Perry Moore has died. He was found unconscious on Thursday morning from an apparent overdose and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter by paramedics.
Perry Moore was a producer on the Narnia films and especially involved with the production of the The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He was the author of the official movie companion. Since working on the Narnia films, he wrote and directed Lake City and authored a book ‘Hero’.
On a personal note, I’ve met Perry Moore several times and knew him as a fantastic human being: incredibly kind and thoughtful. He will be missed. Please join NarniaWeb as we offer our condolences to his family.
More from the New York Daily News.
I am deeply sorry for his family and him, May he be with our lord.
OH MY!!!:( I pray for his family and friends and fans as they mourn the death of our beloved Narnia producer.
Lord , please bless Perry for all the wonderful work he did, and let him know the happiness he has wrought throughout the world! Amen! For Aslan and for Narnia! We will see you , Perry, in Aslan's country!
Wow… First off, I was shocked and saddened that he died. And second, I was equally surprised that he was actively gay and took drugs while holding his high position at Walden Media (especially after hearing that Focus on the Family interview).
Such sad news. My condolences to his friends and family in this rough time.
I'm sure god found that his work was finished. I'm sure he would have fought for all us Narnians to have all seven books done.It is really Tragic. Rest in Peace Perry 🙁
I got the news when I was in University. I'm so sorry. May he rest in peace.
Very sad news:(
My love for the family and friends….He is in Aslan's Country ! 🙂
Oh, no! What a tragedy…my prayers are with him and his family. He did so much for the Narnia project…
May god help his family through this time… He was a inspiration to all of Narnia and I am sure he will soon be in 'Aslans Country'
He seemed the nicest guy imaginable in the enterviews of the LWW dvd. This makes me very sad.
I hope this tragic loss will cause us to pray all the more diligently for everyone involved in Narnia. We just never know…
May the Lion be with his family as they grieve his loss. I hope he was welcomed into the Lion's Country himself. 🙁
I guess I'm still in shock – it really hasn't hit me yet that he's gone. The LWW Companion was one of my favorite books ever, and I loved his writing style & sense of humor. I'll be praying for his family. I hope that we'll see him in the real Narnia someday.
Oh my goodness!! How sad! 🙁 I'm going to be praying for his family. Was he a Christian? And did he die of a drug overdose did it say?
This is tragic news. I did not know him, but he helped me to see a wonderful film that introduced me to seven amazing books. For that I will always be grateful. My thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones.
May he rest in peace.
🙁 rip
My sympathies to Mr. Moore’s family and friends. We appreciate his work on the Narnia films, and are saddened at his passing.
God…
he must in Aslan's land now.
This is truly dreadful. I shall always be grateful that he was a part of the wonderful first film. May his family get through this hard time and may he rest in peace.
: O
i'm sorry about what happened : ( thank you for producing great narnia flims
Sending my condolences here. May he rest in peace.
i am very sorry i will pray .
Thats really sad!!
Aslan's Country said it was Oxycontin, a prescription pain reliever. The overdose was likely accidental. Paul Martin at NarniaFans says he was a believer. I pray to meet him someday, and that in the meantime, "Let us be good to one another".
Im sorry, I never really knew the guy though…I focused more on the narnian series, and very little on Andrew Adamson, but now he's gone and the films are much better. I'm not happy the producer died…I have much enjoyed his works of art, and will miss them dreading that he will not be able to continue working on the Narnia series. But I'm sure he was saved and will be very glad to see him some day.
I'm sure it was not suicide. He was the producer of Narnia! He had everything going for him, just look at the money production from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. He had to have had millions of dollars, along with perhaps a loving wife and kids….I see no reason to commit suicide in that scenerio. Besides wouldn't he have at least left a note to his wife and kids saying how much he loved them? I definately would have before I would commit suicide, and I'm sure Perry would've too. Even though I don't know him very well, I know men, I am one of them…. lol
I'm so sorry 🙁
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 deepest condolences. May the Lord be with his family in this very difficult time. I personally just went through seeing my mom struggle about the death of a loved one because of an overdose, although in this case it sounded as though it may have been an accident. . . it is obviously a very tragic and hard battle for the family.
Rest in peace my friend. Well, we know now that Narnia as we know it has now ended. I do not think it will continue after this. And I do not think I will want to see anything they make after this.
I am so saddened to hear this. I will always be grateful for his loving, dedicated work on the films and the Movie Companion. Praying for peace and comfort for his family and that he is home in Aslan's country.
Awww! This makes me really sad ):
My deepest condolences to Mr. Perry Moore and his family. He really worked hard to make the Narnia franchise successful, especially LWW. Now I'm afraid of Narnia's future as a film adaptation.
His death reminds me of Heath Ledger's accidental death. 🙁
Does anyone know if any of the actors were informed of his death?
Rest in Piece Perry Moore. I know you are now in Aslan's Country. =(
What a terible loss for Narnia film-production team. My deepest condolences for the family of Perry Moore. May he rest in peace and may he be in(Aslan's Country,)with God in heavens. This is a new beginning for the Narnia films team.

That sad news and I regret the death of the life of Perry moore great man and producer in the life of Narnia series, has left a mark on the film and pray for their families.
R.I.P, Perry. You were an amazing man to help produce such amazing films. Whenever I see your name in the credits, I'll think of you x
Rest in peace, mr moore

Perry Moore was clearly dedicated to his work on an extraordinary level.
This is very sad news. My prayers are with his family and friends.
Oh my goodness! I will be praying for him and his family.
It's good he was a beliver. It's still sad though! 🙁
It is hard to say what will happen now. 🙁
The sad aspect about this particular area of the news is it sounded like he was so very excited by the prospect of getting financing for the next film. The whole situation is a terrible tragedy.
I will be praying for his family. Almightly God, please be with them.
May God Himself provide peace and understanding to his family.
Until again we meet in Aslan's Country.

That is so sad to hear. The LWW companion book was so cool, and I distinctly remember opening it up for the first time and anxiously reading it. My prayers go out to his family in this difficult time.
