Green Day's Upcoming Coming-of-Age Film Expands With Global Theater Release

Green Day are bringing more than just music to fans this summer.

The band's new coming-of-age road trip comedy, Nimrods, will receive a global theatrical release with special screenings on August 11 and August 14. Inspired by Green Day's early journey, the film follows three young dreamers on a cross-country adventure after believing they've landed the chance to open for the band.

Serving as executive producers, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool helped bring the project to life, which stars Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Sean Gunn, Bobby Lee, and Fred Armisen.

In an interview with Kerrang!, Billie Joe Armstrong said the film is "really fun," has "a lot of heart," and reflects the band's own experiences of doing whatever it takes to follow their dreams.

Alongside the movie announcement, Green Day unveiled the new soundtrack single "I'm Never Gonna R.I.P."

Fans will have only two chances to catch Nimrods in theaters, as the film is scheduled for special screenings on August 11 and 14. Tickets become available July 14.
