Finn Wofhard has made a name for himself as one of the stars in the Stranger Things series, but is at the same time developing a career as an indie musician and acting in music videos for other artists like Weezer and others. Now, the actor/musician has decided to adapt Trouble Boys, Bob Mehr’s biography of the illustrious indie rock band The Replacements.
Wolfard will write the script for this film along with his father, Eric Wolfard. Rich Peete is on board to produce via his Neighborhood Watch company. Peete previously worked with Wolfhard on The Legend Of Ochi (which featured Dave Longstreth’s first film score). Wolfhard and Billy Bryk previously co-directed, co-wrote, and co-produced the Neon horror film Hell Of A Summer.
Wolfhard recently teased the Replacements movie in a Variety cover story: “I’ve been writing a lot of music and writing this movie with my dad, which has been really amazing. It’s about a band that I think weirdly I have a lot in common with, a lot of the members. I can’t really talk about the actual band because I don’t have the rights officially yet.
