Green Day fans are likely to feel that they’ve been welcomed to paradise with the release of the trailer for Nimrods.
Inaugural Entertainment is set to release writer-director Lee Kirk’s Nimrods theatrically on Aug. 14. Mason Thames, Mckenna Grace, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Sean Gunn, Bobby Lee and Fred Armisen star in the comedy 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.
“Tré Cool called,” Thames says in the trailer about the Green Day drummer. “He invited us to L.A. to open for them on New Year’s.”
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 Tré Cool, alongside Tim Perell for Process. Executive producers include Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino for Live Nation Studios, in addition to Jonathan Daniel.
During an interview with THR timed to the movie’s TIFF premiere, Armstrong praised his own chemistry with Kirk on their 2016 film and also gave credit to Thames for doing a “heartfelt job” with the new project.
“I’ve always wanted to do a Green Day film,” Armstrong said. “God, 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.”
