Green Day film news…..
About to go into production is a Green Day film or at least one that the band have been heavily involved. Green Day, whose 1994 break through album ‘Dookie’ was a huge success have since gone onto further success with subsequent albums. So this new film should mean that fans will have the time of their lives (see what we did there Green Day fans? – yes, we are very much down with the kids!).
What the Green Day film is about….
The film comes form writer-director Lee Kirk and is titled Nimrods ( its original title was ‘New Years Rev’) and is a coming-of-age film. The story centres on three high school friends who set out on a wild road trip under the mistaken assumption that their fledgling band has been booked to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve. It is a story that is based on Green Day’s real-life adventures while living in a van before the success of Dookie, their 1994 Grammy-winning major label debut album that has since been certified as double-diamond.
Who’s in it?
The film will stars Mason Thames, McKenna Grace, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Sean Gunn, Bobby Lee and Fred Armisen. The cast will also include Kyle Coffman, Ryan Foust, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Keen Ruffalo. Lee Kirk had directed Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong in the 2016 film ‘Ordinary World’ and the films title ‘Nimrods’ is a reference to the bands 1997 double platinum album.
What Billie Joe said….
Singer Armstrong has said , “I’ve always wanted to do a Green Day film …… ever since the beginning, just all my heroes have always done films, whether it was Rock ‘n’ Roll High School by the Ramones or [the Beatles’] A Hard Day’s Night, the Who’s Quadrophenia. I just wanted to do the same thing.”
