It was back in January when I asked the question: Mike Myers -- The New Keith Moon? Me, I'm not too afraid of the idea -- at least, not before I see what the international man of mystery can do with the life of the famous Who drummer. I never would've picked Val Kilmer for Jim Morrison, and I still can't believe how much he looked and sounded like the doomed music icon. Anyhow, this film has been gearing up for a long time, and while you might be taking comfort in the thought that it will never come to be, the flick -- See Me Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked for Your Pleasure -- is another step closer. According to The Telegraph, which recently chatted with Myers over in the U.K., the movie will start filming in January of 2008.

The zany actor talked about how he came to be part of the film: "Roger Daltrey came to see me on the set when I was filming Austin Powers 3 and said they'd like me to play Keith Moon. I felt as if I had been hit by lightning because I've wanted to do that my whole life. I loved the Who, and I loved his drumming and I'm excited because the world of rock and roll in the 60's and 70's was a fascinating place." I would imagine if anyone could pick the right guy, it would be Daltrey. However, if you're still grieving over the choice, zip over to YouTube and check out this clip to bask in true Moon-ness. It has him tearing up a faux hotel room behind Steve Martin, filmed a year before he died.

Unlike the explosive nature of Keith Moon's presence as the drummer for The Who, his biopic has been slowly stirring for a long time now. Sure to be a madhouse of larger-than-life mayhem, the biopic has been in forever-development by Who's frontman, Roger Daltrey, and producer Nigel Sinclair -- who has produced everything from The Wedding Planner to No Direction Home: Bob Dylan. Two years ago, news sites including Cinematical were rumbling about Mike Myers becoming Keith Moon.

At the time, Myers was coming off a myriad of family hits and flops, and was sliding into seclusion and battery re-charge. Now, as Wayne finishes up some more Shrek vocal stylings, Moon news is re-rumbling. See Me Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked For Your Pleasure, seems to be back on track for release in 2009. Where an actor usually has to sell himself and prove to the audience that he can embody the famous musician, Myers was picked by Roger Daltrey himself. While its undoubtedly an honor to be chosen by someone in the band, I wonder if it is better to blast people harboring low expectations out of the water, rather than having to live up to the expectations of a famous frontman.

Then again, Mike Myers really seems made for the role. Moon was an unpredictable and hyperactive man, probably suffering from ADHD, who had a penchant for destruction and quirky antics. The man inspired The Muppets' Animal, and really, who is more of an animal than Mike Myers?
