Look Who's filming!

Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey have started work on a feature documentary about The Who.

May 27 2005

Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have started work on a documentary about their legendary rock group, The Who.

'My Generation: Who's Still Who' will be directed by Murray Lerner (who previously made the 1970 documentary 'The Who – Live at the Isle of Wight'), and produced by the two band members.

It will detail their meteoric rise to fame and cover the ups and downs they experienced as one of the most successful groups of 1960s.

Both Townshend and Daltrey will be interviewed for the film, while much of the footage used will be taken from their own archive material.

They have also appealed to fans to contribute any film they might have of the band at the documentary's website, www.thewhomovie.com

In a statement, manager Bill Curbishley said of the project: 'Our ambition is that this film will have all the epic qualities, energies and excitement of a great Who album. We have assembled a great team and look forward to getting to work.'

'My Generation: Who's Still Who' will be released next summer.
