Born on November 4, 1971, in Richmond, Virginia, to Nancy Norris Moore and William,[1][2][3] Vietnam War veteran and Bronze Star recipient.
[13] He co-wrote and co-directed (with life partner Hunter Hill) the 2008 film Lake City, a drama that tells the story of a mother (Sissy Spacek) and son (Troy Garity) who reunite under desperate circumstances years after a family tragedy drove them apart.
[5] In addition to his work in production and development, Moore wrote The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion.
[5] In February 2010, Moore said he was also at work on a new novel, Way of the Wolf, Book One: Fire, about triplets who inherit super powers and have to stop a villain from taking over the Earth.
[11] According to family members, Moore had suffered knee and back problems before his death, which required pain medication and corrective surgery, but which he had put off to continue working.
[23] Having died unmarried and intestate, Moore's parents inherited his estate, including his share of a Manhattan residence, co-purchased with partner Hunter Hill in 2008.
In 2012, Moore's parents asked the court of jurisdiction to require Hill, who remained in possession of the home, to either pay the estate's share of the estimated value or liquidate the asset.
