Green Day-Inspired Movie Gets New Title and Release Date

This summer, Green Day fans will be having the time of their lives when this movie comes out.

Inaugural Entertainment has dated its Green Day-inspired comedy "Nimrods" —named after the band’s 1997 album Nimrod — for August 14.

Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Sean Gunn, Bobby Lee and Fred Armisen star in the movie that hails from Live Nation Studios and was previously known as "New Years Rev" when it premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.

"Nimrods" is a coming-of-age film centering 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.

The story 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.

In addition to releasing the film’s poster, which can be seen below, Inaugural announced a partnership with fan-owned entertainment company Legion M.

Fans can invest in the Legion M Film Fund, which helps finance the marketing and distribution of Nimrods and other titles.

The fund kicked off with last year’s comedy, Fackham Hall, which Legion M co-released with Bleecker Street.

Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, and Keen Ruffalo round out the cast. 

Kirk, who previously directed Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in Universal’s 2016 release "Ordinary World," helmed Nimrods from his own script that he developed with the band.

The title references Nimrod, Green Day’s 1997 album that featured such singles as “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” and went double-platinum.

Serving as producers for Nimrods are Green Day members Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool, alongside Tim Perell for Process.

Executive producers include Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino for Live Nation Studios, in addition to Jonathan Daniel.
