Green Day Producing Comedy Film Inspired by Their Early Touring Days

The coming-of-age movie 'New Years Rev,' currently in production, follows a fictional band's road trip misadventures fueled by Green Day's real-life experiences.

• 'New Years Rev' is a comedy film inspired by Green Day's early years touring in a van, depicting the journey of three friends traveling to Los Angeles under the mistaken belief they will open for the band on New Year's Eve.
• The movie is being directed by Lee Kirk and stars Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust as the central trio, with supporting roles from Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, and Keen Ruffalo.
• Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool are producing the film alongside Live Nation Productions, with production currently underway in Oklahoma.
• The film aims to capture the spirit of youthful ambition, the challenges of life on the road, and the camaraderie of bandmates, as highlighted by Armstrong's reflections on the band's early days.
• No release date has been announced yet, but the project builds on Live Nation Productions' history of music-inspired films, including 'A Star Is Born' and 'Moonage Daydream.'
