Legendary punk rock trio Green Day have released the official trailer for their upcoming comedy film ‘Nimrods’, formerly known as ‘New Years Rev’ set to hit theatres on August 14th. Alongside appearances from Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool, the film stars are Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust and Mckenna Grace with additional cameos by Fred Armisen, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Bobby Lee, Jolene, Keen Ruffalo, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, and Sean Gunn.
The movie was written and directed by Lee Kirk and Green Day appear in the movie and are producers on the film. Here’s the synopsis: “When Tommy receives a phone call inviting his band to open for Green Day on New Years Eve, he doesn’t realize it’s an elaborate prank by his older brother, Wayne. Desperate to believe his life is about to change, Tommy steals Wayne’s car and begins driving his band from Kansas City to Los Angeles, hell bent on getting there in three days. What follows is a rowdy and uproarious road trip across America, inspired by Green Day’s early days of touring in a van, years before the release of their breakout record ‘Dookie’.”
