re:Moon film wars

>I just want to understand why a movie on Keith Moon who has been 
underrated probably his whole career and even now, has been decided to 
be made. Most people my age don't listen to the Who let alone know that 
their drummer has revolutionalized drumming in rock music.

Because it looks like a money-making opportunity, of course.  TED has 
been out and about for the last couple of years, and suddenly a few more 
people know who The Who is and what they used to do.  So this is a great 
time to do it, and De Niro has taken notice.

Seems like Roger's version has been in the works for a while, but 
stalled for some reason, likely because he wants to present Keith Moon 
as a complex human being.  That won't sell nearly as well as a 
demolition spectacular.  De Niro and crew probably mean to do something 
like THE DOORS
