Green Day-Inspired Nimrods Gets U.S. Release August 14

Inaugural Entertainment announced on May 12 that "Nimrods," a coming-of-age comedy inspired by Green Day's early road adventures, will arrive in U.S. theaters on August 14.

The film follows three friends, played by Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust, who embark on a cross-country road trip to Los Angeles under the mistaken belief that their band has landed an opening slot for Green Day at a New Year's Eve show. Their journey captures the chaos and mischief of van life, drawing directly from the punk rock band's real-life exploits before the 1994 breakthrough album "Dookie." Directed and written by Lee Kirk, the movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year under its original title, "New Year's Rev," before being renamed to reference Green Day's 1997 album "Nimrod."

The ensemble cast includes Mckenna Grace, Fred Armisen, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Bobby Lee, Sean Gunn, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Keen Ruffalo.
