The Hunger Games star was slated to begin production next week (begs20Jul15), but producers and movie executives are now looking for a replacement for Moore, according to Variety.com.

It is unclear if production on the film will begin on time.

The movie centres on Israel, who was sentenced to six months of house arrest in 1993 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to transport stolen property.

In 1992, she started forging and selling letters from deceased writers and actors. After the letters began to raise suspicion, Israel started stealing the real ones from library archives and sold those instead.

Israel died last year (14).
