The Who frontman Roger Daltrey has spoken to NME about the long-awaited Keith Moon biopic, vowing that the film “will be made” despite numerous past setbacks.The project has been in the works since at least 2005, when Mike Myers signed up to portray the late drummer.

However, it’s since languished in development limbo and failed to get off the ground.In early 2022, it was reported that the movie would finally begin shooting that summer but that ended up not being the case.

Daltrey and his bandmate Pete Townshend are attached to the biopic as executive producers.As part of a new interview with NME, Daltrey confirmed that he recently completed a script for the film and said he was determined to get it to the big screen. “I’m at a draft that’s ready to go to directors,” he explained.“I’m waiting on a reply from a director that I was talking to prior to starting writing the script.

I’m very pleased with the script, it will be made. As soon as soon as he’s finished the film that he’s on, he will read it and I’ll get a reply from him.
