Mike Myers will star as the Who's drummer Keith Moon in an untitled feature, according to Variety.
Myers previously flirted with the Moon project several years ago. At the time, he was so busy co-writing and playing four characters in
Austin Powers In Goldmember that the project never quite came together. He is eager to make it happen now, sources said.
Moon's penchant for destroying drum sets while bandmate Pete Townshend smashed his guitars helped to forge the Who's rebellious image. Moon was just as wild offstage, living large and trashing hotel rooms and cars. The lunacy nearly overshadowed an instinctive power drumming skill that fueled the Who. The hard living caught up to Moon, who died in 1978.
