Mike Myers has been confirmed for the title role in a biopic about The Who drummer Keith Moon.

The Canadian was rumoured to have been offered the role last September, and this has now been confirmed by the movie's co-producer. Myers was personally picked by The Who singer Roger Daltrey.

Nigel Sinclair said: “Roger’s dream was to have Mike as the creative force to pull the project together.”

See Me Feel Me (Keith Moon Naked For Pleasure) will be released in 2009.
