Yeah Baby! Mike Myers Joins The Who
Filed under: Music & Musicals, Casting, Fandom, Newsstand
Wow. So, Mike Myers is going to play Keith Moon in a movie about The Who. I'm so stunned by this that I hardly know what to say. I guess it's not as out of left field as it sounds, because Roger Daltrey is one of the film's producers, and he's likely to have a pretty good grasp on who can most effectively portray the (dead) drummer. Interestingly, Daltrey and his co-producer Nigel Sinclair (Spitfire Pictures) have approached Myers before about the role, but the actor was always too busy to commit. I have to admit that I'm sincerely intrigued by the idea that these guys see Keith Moon hiding inside Mike Myers - it'll be really interesting to see how he handles the role.Sinclair and Daltrey have been working on this project for a decade already and are clearly determined to take their time and get it right, so don't expect to see more news anytime soon. Man. I wonder who on earth they'll find to play the rest of the band. Casting suggestions, Who fans?

The perfect actor to portray Pete Townsend would be Sean Penn. Dana Carvey would make a great Roger Daltry.

It should certainly have Jessica Alba in it.
