The American rock band, formed by Stein and singer Debbie Harry, was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s.
Stein, 64, said he wants actor Shia LaBeouf him in the biopic, reported New York Daily News.
"We are always talking about stuff like that. It's all behind the scenes at the moment, so whatever happens... I don't know. I think Shia LaBeouf is great, but he is nuts," Stein said.
Last month, director Martin Scorsese announced plans for a film about that New York City band.
