Stranger Things<\/em> actor Finn Wolfhard<\/a>, his father Eric Wolfhard, and producer Rich Peete are working on a biopic about the Replacements<\/a>, reports Variety<\/a>.<\/em> The three are adapting Bob Mehr\u2019s best-selling biography Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements<\/em><\/a> for the big screen, with the Wolfhards co-writing the screenplay and Peete producing under his Neighborhood Watch banner.<\/p>\n Published in 2016, Trouble Boys<\/em> takes a definitive approach to how it chronicles the history of the Replacements, from their early days as a Minneapolis punk band to their lasting influence on American alt-rock. Mehr shared some of his biggest takeaways from writing that book in an interview<\/a> with Pitchfork\u2019s Jeremy Gordon that same year.<\/p>\n In a Variety<\/em><\/a> cover story, Wolfhard revealed he was working with his dad on a music-themed project, but kept the details a secret. \u201cI\u2019ve been writing a lot of music and writing this movie with my dad, which has been really amazing,\u201d Wolfhard said. \u201cIt\u2019s about a band that I think weirdly I have a lot in common with, a lot of the members. I can\u2019t really talk about the actual band because I don\u2019t have the rights officially yet.\u201d<\/p>\n Finn Wolfhard and Rich Peete recently worked together on A24\u2019s The Legend of Ochi<\/em>, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year. Wolfhard also co-directed, co-wrote, and co-produced the recent horror film Hell of a Summer<\/em> alongside Billy Bryk. The fifth and final season<\/a> of Stranger Things<\/em><\/a> hits Netflix on November 26 and will roll out incrementally afterwards.<\/p>\n Read about Tim<\/em><\/a> at No. 54 in \u201cThe 200 Best Albums of the 1980s<\/a>\u201d and revisit the interview \u201cWhat Stranger Things<\/em> Star Finn Wolfhard Is Listening to Right Now<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
