Mike Myers To Play Keith Moon

In new film by Roger Daltrey...

Mike Myers To Play Keith Moon ...more The Who »
...more Mike Myers »

Austin Powers aka Mike Myers is to star as Keith Moon in a new film about his life.

Moon, who drummed for The Who was considered one of the wildest men in rock; he died of an overdose of prescription drugs in 1978, he was 32.

Roger Daltrey of The Who is producing the untitled film with Nigel Sinclair for Spitfire Pictures according to Variety magazine.

Myers reportedly became interested in the role a few years ago but was too busy to sign up; he met with Daltrey in 2002 who approved him for the role. 

Daltrey and Sinclair have been working on the project for the last 10 years; the film is now being fast tracked and Spitfire are looking to recruit a director.

  • i'm 28,a massive who and keith moon fan,roger daltrey is no bullshitter,he won't cut corners in this film,he had first-hand experience with keith and if he thinks that mike myers is the best guy to do it,then we shud respect that-he knows the score! i trust him that he'll put the story of this true rock n roll great as honest as he possibly can.if roger wasn't involved,then as a who fan,i would'nt even consider watching it.
