The three are adapting Bob Mehr\u2019s best-selling biography Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements for the big screen, with the Wolfhards co-writing the screenplay and Peete producing under his Neighborhood Watch banner.<\/p>\n<p>Published in 2016, Trouble Boys 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 with Pitchfork\u2019s Jeremy Gordon that same year.<\/p>\n<p>In a Variety 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<p>Finn Wolfhard and Rich Peete recently worked together on A24\u2019s The Legend of Ochi, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year. Wolfhard also co-directed, co-wrote, and co-produced the recent horror film Hell of a Summer alongside Billy Bryk. The fifth and final season of Stranger Things hits Netflix on November 26 and will roll out incrementally afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Read about Tim at No. 54 in \u201cThe 200 Best Albums of the 1980s\u201d and revisit the interview \u201cWhat Stranger Things Star Finn Wolfhard Is Listening to Right Now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Stranger Things actor, his father, and producer Rich Peete are adapting Bob Mehr\u2019s biography Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements for the &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3810,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
