Green Day’s semi‑biographical road comedy Nimrods—formerly titled New Years Rev—has secured a theatrical release following its premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival. The film, inspired by the early days of the iconic punk‑rock band and loosely based on their pre‑breakthrough years, stars Mason Thames alongside Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust and a vibrant supporting cast including Jenna Fischer, Mckenna Grace, Angela Kinsey and Fred Armisen.
Directed and written by Lee Kirk with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong among the producers, Nimrods chronicles a misfit group of teens on a chaotic road trip to Los Angeles under the mistaken belief they’ll open for the band on New Year’s Eve. The movie blends coming‑of‑age hijinks with punk‑rock energy, offering fans both humor and nostalgia.
