The pair will join Ellen Page in Nick &amp;amp; Norah&amp;#039;s Infinite Playlist director Peter Sollett&amp;#039;s indie drama, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  Based on the 2007 Academy Award-winning documentary short of the same name, the film centres around the true story of the late New Jersey police detective Laurel Hester (Moore).

Her plight inspires conservative colleague Dane Wells to lead the defence of the same-sex couple. Galifianakis will play Garden State Equality activist Steven Goldstein.   Page signed up for the project in 2010. Moore is currently starring in Non-Stop and Map of the Stars, and is filming The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.
