The Replacements

Finn Wolfhard Trades Upside Down for Downward Spiral in Replacements Biopic

Eric and Finn Wolfhard, the latter known from Stranger Things, team up with producer Rich Peete to adapt Bob Mehr’s biography Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements into a feature film. Tapping into the punk-soaked chaos of the Minneapolis band without donning rose-tinted nostalgia, the project aims for the screen without fluff or fanfare.

No casting news or release dates emerge, leaving the venture suspended somewhere between sanctioned homage and indie experimentation. Mehr’s text, a chronicle of the group’s volatile rise and self-sabotaging detours, provides the blueprint.
