Mike Myers Considers Keith Moon Film
“Austin Powers” star Mike Myers is discussing the possibility of starring in a new movie about The Who drummer Keith Moon.
Myers and The Who frontman Roger Daltrey have discussed plans for a forthcoming film, and the 39-year-old comic actor said Monday he hoped it would be made.
“I have talked to Roger Daltrey about the possibility of a film. I think Keith Moon was a fascinating character,” said Myers, whose new movie, “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” is scheduled for release later this month.
Moon was 32 when he died of a drug overdose in 1978.
Daltrey has long wanted to turn Moon’s life story into a Hollywood film and said Myers would be perfect for the part.
“Mike is a genius. I can really see him as Keith. He’s amazing when you meet him, so clever,” Daltrey said.
