Mike Myers to play The Who Drummer, Keith Moon.
In between voicing the multi-billion dollar “Shrek” franchise, Mike Myers will be playing crazy drummer of The Who, Keith Moon, in a movie based on his life.
The projects full title is ’See Me, Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked for Your Pleasure’, and is due in 2009.
The film is described as “A look at the life and death of Keith Moon (Myers), whose innovative drumming and penchant for destroying his kit made The Who one of the most influential, rebellious bands of the 1970s”. So not much revealed there then.
The project has been rumoured for some time but the gears are starting to turn now that Myers has a window in between the Shrek films.
The project is produced by Roger Dawltrey, and Pete Townsend will have a hand in the soundtrack.
I don’t know about you…but I have MISSED Mike Myers! I’m just glad he’s going to do another movie!!

This is just horrible casting. Mike Myers is not a drummer. Maybe they will use CGI for the drumming scenes.
The shame of it is there is a perfect person to play Moon. Jason Schwartzman has become an accomplished actor since leaving the band Phantom Planet, where his drumming style was closer to Moon’s than anyone I have ever seen. He even looks like Moon.
Mike Myers? You just CANNOT be serious.
