Finn Wolfhard, best known to millions as Mike Wheeler on Netflix’s Stranger Things, is taking a leap from Hawkins to the Minneapolis punk scene. The actor, musician, and budding filmmaker is set to co-write a feature adaptation of Bob Mehr’s acclaimed biography Trouble Boys: The True Story of the Replacements, chronicling one of the most influential — and chaotic — rock bands of the 1980s.
“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," Wolfhard said cryptically.
