The film also stars Chris O’Dowd.

Reportedly, the mother of two is no longer a part of the Fox Searchlight project due to creative differences.

Moore was pegged to play the roll of lead character Lee Israel. The film is based on the late author's 2008 memoir of the same name.

They are currently seeking to replace the Oscar winner.

Holofecener wrote her own script based on the book.

The drama details Israel’s 1992 scandal in which she began forging letters she claimed were from late actors and directors.

After the forgeries ‘raised suspicion’ Israel proceeded to steal actual letters and documents and sell them in an attempt to perpetuate the fallacy.

The following year, Israel plead guilty to conspiracy to transport stolen property. She served six months in prison. The discredited author later died of melanoma on her 75th birthday in December 2014.
