Overview

• Variety first reported that Wolfhard is adapting Bob Mehr’s 2016 biography Trouble Boys into a feature film, a detail subsequently echoed by multiple outlets.
• Finn Wolfhard is co-writing the screenplay with his father, Eric Wolfhard, while Rich Peete will produce under his Neighborhood Watch banner.
• Wolfhard has said he cannot discuss the band in detail because he does not yet have the rights officially, underscoring the project’s preliminary status.
• No casting, director credit, financing plan, or timeline has been announced for the adaptation.
• Mehr’s book is widely regarded as the definitive account of The Replacements, and prior reporting in 2020 linked a separate, ultimately unrealized film effort to director Josh Boone.
