New info about this in an interview with Josh Boone. Here's the relevant part, link to full interview below. Q: I’ve only got one more question, so I’m going to ask – this is now coming out; The Stand is coming out later; what’s next for you? What’s exciting for you in your future, post-this? A: This will tell you, again, how long things take. When we were shooting The New Mutants, I started working on, with Knate, we started working on an adaptation of Bob Mehr’s New York Times bestseller Troubled Boys, about the band The Replacements. So Nat Wolff is going to play Paul Westerberg. Nat’s been in just about everything I’ve done. He was in The Stand. He starred in my first movie. He was in The Fault in Our Stars. He’s one of the best actors on the planet. Owen Teague, who is in The Stand, is going to play Tommy Stinson in it – really in the second half of it, because in the first half, Tommy Stinson is like a 12-year-old. They were a band who had like a 12 or 13-year-old bass player through a lot of their early years. So, yeah, we’ve been working on that for years, and that’s really exciting. We’ve got all the scripts done for that, so I’m literally casting that right now. I’m going to go make that. And then I have a couple of other books under option that I’m sort of working on for after that. www.gamesradar.com/the-new-mutants-josh-boone-interview-sequel-strand-replacements/In the name of clarity, it’s not possible for the band to have had a 12 or 13 year old bass player through a lot of their early years, unless the band only lasted 3 years. It is only possible for the Tommy Stinson to have been a 12 or 13 years old for exactly 2 years.

Like saying the ‘Mats were a band that drank orange juice through a lot of their early years when in reality Paul’s OJ regimen likely expired at that first Dogbreath rehearsal in Ms. Stinson’s basement. We all know what succeeded it.

Golly, did I run afoul of the censors? I take it back—nobody can pull off a decent Bob Stinson. Inimitable. You were censored? It’s the zeitgeist-y thing to do isn’t it? One must always be ready to be canceled. I’m fortunate in that no one subscribes to me anyway. ☺️

Wolff kid looks more like Mars than PW lol. And Teague looks like Johnny Rotten. Given the new Oscar diversity quotas Bob’ll have to be black. Or a lady. Nate Wolff has repeatedly cited The Replacements and Big Star as major inspirations and favorite artists. The Naked Brothers had some good tunes. www.gq.com/story/nat-wolff-recording-studio-gear

Pass.
I don't watch many Hollywood movies anyways, I don't recognize 90% of the names on the Oscars lists for the past 5-10 years or so. The last two movies I saw in an actual theater were Joker and The Darkest Hour, before that Dunkirk.
I'll bet Westerberg is getting a laugh out of this, but he may very well may not even know or care anyways.
