    The Replacements' Biography Trouble Boys to Be Turned Into Biopic By Finn Wolfhard

    The Replacements' Biography Trouble Boys to Be Turned Into Biopic By Finn Wolfhard

    In an instance of his acting and music careers further blurring together, Finn Wolfhard has revealed plans to adapt Trouble Boys, the 2016 biography on indie rock gods The Replacements.

    As Variety reported, Wolfhard is co-writing the script alongside his father, Eric Wolfhard, with Rich Peete serving as a producer. (Peete also produced the Finn Wolfhard-staring The Legend Of Ochi released earlier this year.) It wouldn’t be the younger Wolfhard’s first foray behind the cameras, as he previously co-directed, co-wrote, and co-produced 2023’s mostly good Hell Of A Summer.

    Wolfhard took to Instagram recently to confirm his involvement in the project (which currently has no release date), writing, “One of my parents’ first dates was to a Replacements concert. Then I was born! As [Paul] Westerberg once said, ‘Let’s let em down.’” Not to push mild conspiracy theories, but does that mean he could play Westerberg on film? Some have already made a solid argument for him taking on the role of Tommy Stinson, but a run as the dynamic frontman seems more fitting for the rising young star.

    The project was first teased earlier this summer during Wolfhard’s cover story with Variety. At the time, he indicated that he’d been “writing a lot of music and writing this movie with my dad, which has been really amazing.” However, he couldn’t “talk about the actual band because I don’t have the rights officially yet.” Still, he once again echoed a personal connection with The Replacements, adding, “It’s about a band that I think weirdly I have a lot in common with, a lot of the members.”

    Written by singular rock journalist Bob Mehr, 2016’s Trouble Boys is, in many ways, the single defining chronicle of The Replacements as this linchpin of the modern indie rock landscape. The book itself represents 10-plus years of research and interviews, and is “a deeply intimate portrait, revealing the primal factors and forces that shaped one of the most brilliant and notoriously self-destructive rock ‘n’ roll bands of all time,” according to press materials. The Guardian’s review made note that the book’s much less of a critical analysis, and more of a look at the often tumultuous, always life-affirming career, antics, and music of the famed Minneapolis band.

    The 22-year-old Wolfhard is, of course, no stranger to making music, having fronted the band Calpurnia for several years followed by its off-shoot group, The Aubreys. In June 2025, he released his debut solo album, the entertaining Happy Birthday. So, does this mean he could be performing Replacements songs for the film? Or, that some kind of Replacements revival will happen around the film’s release? Time well tell, but this is nonetheless solid news for fans of both classic indie rock and biopics with weird, charming leads.
