According to Dougal Butler last week at the convention, Roger and he have
been at loggerheads for some time about their two different movies.  Roger
has been trying for  the last ten years to get a movie made based on a
script of Keith's entire life.  However, to date, he has failed to find
funding.

Dougal's film is based on his book and will be sort of "My Favorite Year"
with Keith.  A young roadie is put in charge of the mad Mr. Moon who leads
him through crazy adventures.  Dougal says Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Pictrues
now has this on their slate of future productions, so it seems more likely
to be made.
