The men of Green Day clearly remember what it was like to be up-and-coming artists. At least, that’s the core of the upcoming comedy Nimrods, inspired by the band’s early days. Per Inaugural Entertainment, the film is “a coming-of-age story about three friends (Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust) who journey to Los Angeles, mistakenly believing that their band is opening for Green Day on New Year’s Eve. Their roadtrip is a rowdy and mischievous jaunt across the country filled with adventures, based on the exploits of Green Day and their years of living in a tour van.”
The movie also stars Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, Keen Ruffalo, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Mckenna Grace, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, and Sean Gunn, with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool appearing as themselves. Nimrods opens in theaters on August 14th — check out the trailer below.
