Actors Leslie Ash and Gary Shail have reportedly signed up for the "Quadrophenia" sequel.

The two stars have agreed to reprise the roles of Steph and Spider, who they played in the 1979 classic movie - which is based on the music of The Who - in the upcoming film, even though the project doesn't have the backing of the 'Baba O'Riley' group, reported Contactmusic.

And though the film has been delayed because of Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend's objections, production is now well underway, and movie bosses are hoping to sign up some more big names to feature alongside Leslie, Gary, and previously-announced returning cast members Phil Daniels,Toyah Wilcox, Mark Wingett, and Trevor Laird.
 

"There was a battle with The Who which delayed filming. It has now been resolved and production is moving forward," a source said.

"Leslie Ash and Gary Shail are on board and bosses are in talks with a big name that is being kept under wraps.
