Mike Myers (left) is to play the late Who drummer Keith Moon in a film of his life.The 'Austin Powers' actor has been picked to play the wild rocker by his former bandmate Roger Daltrey, who has been working on the project with producer Nigel Sinclair for around ten years. Daltrey and Sinclair are now looking for a suitable director to helm the movie, titled 'See Me, Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked For Your Pleasure'. Sinclair - who has previously worked on such films as 'No Direction Home: Bob Dylan', 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' and 'Sliding Doors' -insists Daltrey always wanted Myers for the lead role. He said: "Roger's dream was to have Mike as the creative force to pull this film together."Moon, whose drink and drug binges have become interwoven into rock 'n' roll folklore, died in his sleep in 1978 after overdosing on Chlormethiazole, a prescribed drug he was taking as part of a program to stop him drinking. He was aged 32.The film is due to be released in 2009.
