Mike Myers takes role

'Austin Powers' star Mike Myers has been chosen to play The ’s Keith Moon in a film adaptation of his life.

Myers is set to play the drummer, who died in 1978, in the film ’See Me, Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked For Your Pleasure’.

The film is set to be released in 2009.

The actor was hand picked by frontman Roger Daltrey to play the drummer.

Producer Nigel Sinclair told Hollywood.com: “Mike looks very young and Keith, of course, looked much older than he was.

Roger’s dream was to have Mike as the creative force to pull the project together.”
