Sorry keithdrums but I tend to disagree with you. I think that Mike Myers is a very good actor and they couldn't choose a better person to play Keith 'cause he looks a lot like him and he's as funny as him.

I really hope this is never made. These films never avoid skimming the tip of the vague iceberg of ambiguous hearsay. I've read many books on Keith and I don't think a 90 minute Biopic is going to add anything as-yet-unknown to the Moon-mosphere. How bad is it going to be to see Austin Powers changing 'Groovy Baby' to 'Dear Boy'? Very bad is the answer.

this movie is gonna suck because its all gonna be about his antics Dude, are you like brain-dead, OR WHAT?? FOR THE LAST F*CKIN' TIME, this film is Rog's "baby" & he's made it PERFECTLY CLEAR that he DOESN'T WANT IT FOCUSING ON JUST THE "MOON THE LOON" PERSONA (hence the reason why he blocked DeNiro's project)!!! Now, with that said, if Rog ever gets this film off the ground, I think there's 2 things he needs to do: Move past Mike Myers (not that Mike's a bad actor by any means, but I'm in agreement with some here about the age factor - instead, get the guy from "Rushmore", Jason Schwartzman who looks just like Keith, plus he's also a drummer), and GET RID OF the current working title - "K.M.: Naked For Your Pleasure" does sound like it WOULD strictly focus on Keith's antics, which, again, is NOT the film Rog wants made.

How are you going to make Schwartzman into the thirty year old fat Keith?

Deniro actually gained the weight, didn't he? Yeah, he did. As for yer earlier question about Schwartzman, make-up & maybe some kind of padding under the clothes - while Keith was somewhat over-weight towards the end, I wouldn't say he was "obese" (like Cheap Trick's Bun E. Carlos once was).

Rog vs De Niro? LOL LOL LOL ...Rog NEVER could make better a movie than De Niro - be that about Moonie´s life or to be about something else; Rog was greatest Rock singer who was starring at avarage rank in some obscure the movies after his really great acting as TOMMY, (where he played himself as Rock star as well, btw!), Rog is not a film maker. imho.

Roger should f*** off with his "movie". Who cares about his 20 years in the making "movie". Utter balls!

IMHO, that movie with Roger as producer or director or whatever, will be just one piece of sh*t.
the movie about Moon should be making by some hollywood guys which already did do some of really great movies. that movie must be something amazing, or never to be released.
Moonie's life is a perfect subject for these guys who know what to do with this awesome story. Rog is not one of them, IMHO. its mean nothing that Rog was close to Moonie, doesnt metter in that movie stuff.
but i dont blame Roger coz i can understand that he likes to make some extra money from that movie at Africa and Japanese market - thats showbiz only - anyway ...

this movie is gonna suck because its all gonna be about his antics, and very little about his drumming of course that movie could not be about his amazing drumming only, it could be the movie about his crazy life only. sorry! his drumming should/must be in the movie, let say, as "background" aswell coz is it impossible to make the film only about his great drumming ... do you know why? first of all, coz in a present day that very few people care about Moon´s drumming, and also, is it impossible stuff to be filmed (his drumming) without himself. imho.

this movie is gonna suck because its all gonna be about his antics, and very little about his drumming sorry man, but of course it's not going to be about his drumming. How the f*ck do you make a 2hr feature film about someone's drumming? I listened to who's next for the first time in years last night and watched some of tanglewood and, as if i needed reminding, moon is clearly (to these ears) a supreme talent, the most 'musical' percussionist i've ever heard. I think we're talking about a talent on the level of coltrane or something here. But a movie will be about a story, character development etc. Moon is famous because of his antics (much less so for his drumming, although the two often intertwined) and that's exactly how he wanted it - he was an absolutley shameless self publicist. I think moon was an extemely insecure and lonely individual who lashed out at those around him (including beating his wife). A lot of his behaviour is pretty callous and if we're looking for honesty, all of that has to be acknowledged. The idea that he should be looked up to as a person is sad and laughable. Admire the musician, see the person as an example of how NOT to live.

Lets face it, this project has now been going on for so long that unless its in the league of Raging Bull, it will not live up to expectations. I would rather read Dear boy and use my imagination, than watch Myers F**k it up(I might be wrong but I doubt it)!!

I know this might sound very conceited but I'm completely serious in saying, as a movie buff, a Who fanatic, and a reader and analyzer of every account of Kieth's life possible (with Tony Fletcher's great bio being the primary source) I believe I could direct a movie about the life and death of Keith Moon that would encompass all elements of his manic existence from his humble yet confused beginnings in Wembley, going from job to job, acting the clown all the time, problems in school, chasing girls around, etc, to his entry into the music business, his growing addictions, genius drumming with The Who, problems at home and all the other wild and crazy Moon moments that would be necessary to portray his outward clown successfully while contradicting it with his inner psychological turmoil. My angle on the film would ultimately have to be the outward Keith vs. the inward Keith and displaying how these 2 beings influenced his life. I think it would be important to show that Keith attempted to get help as well. It must have been awful disheartening for Keith to find out that no one was able to help him. AA, psychiatrists and everyone else basically told him they couldn't help him. The most important parts of the film for me would have to be the times in the 70's when The Who weren't actively touring. According to Fletcher's account, this is when Keith got extremely sad and bored and thus became more accustomed to self-destructive behavior. Unfortunately, I think the film would have to be at least 2&1/2 hours long to really do justice to the complex character and personalities of Moon the loon.

Theres several funny drunks down my local who should have a film made about them. They cant play the drums but then a film about Keith Moon wouldnt have drums or drumming in it. Drumming is what set him apart from mere mortals. Anyone can throw a tv out of a window.

Maybe you should start on a screenplay?

If a movie was made about moon it would certainly be about moons lifestlye (thats what would sell as a movie) therefore a big name actor like mike myers would be fine, age wise moon looked alot older in his later years than he looked, if it was cast on drumming ablity and mannerisms and likeness it would have to be Paul 'moonie' kemp from whos who tribute band.

Jason Schwartzman could be great as a young Keith. He's young, a good actor, bares some resemblance to Keith (with a little makeup would be spot on), and is a pretty mean drummer. Myers as old Keith would work great as well. I think you'd have to make the switch around '73 given that's when Keith's excesses were starting to take a physical toll. It would be hard to go from Schwartzman to Myers smoothly but who knows. Even though Moon gave some amazing performances from '73-'76 I think this period of his drumming would be easier to pull off. I mean it's not as if anyone can play like Moon anyways. That's what makes him the legend he is...

I don't know, I think this should might as well just be a Who movie all together now being that there's already a Keith biography by Tony Fletcher and all.

Hope it never gets made. It probally won't show the real Moon. Yeah, I'm pesimistic about these kind of things. Not a big Mike Myers fan really. He was funny on SNL but that was like ten years ago.
