Nimrods: Green Day's Wild Road Trip Comes Alive On Screen

The film "Nimrods," inspired by Green Day's early days, is slated for a theatrical release on August 14. This coming-of-age story follows three high school friends who mistakenly believe their band is booked to open for Green Day on New Year's Eve, leading them on a wild road trip. The narrative draws from Green Day's real-life experiences before achieving fame with their 1994 album "Dookie."

Inaugural Entertainment is distributing the film, which premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival under the title "New Years Rev." The film's production team includes Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool as producers.

A notable aspect of the film's release is a partnership with Legion M, a fan-owned entertainment company. This collaboration allows fans to invest in the "Nimrods" marketing and distribution through the Legion M Film Fund, a venture previously involved with financing "Fackham Hall."

Directed by Tony Kirk, who also helmed a film starring Armstrong, "Nimrods" is based on a script developed with the band. The title itself references Green Day's 1997 double-platinum album, which included the hit single "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
