Green Day inspires a rock comedy with Mason Thames (Dragons) and Jenna Fischer (The Office)

A road trip that won’t be called American Idress, but New Year’s Rev, and will be developed by Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool.

Variety Announces the shooting, right now in Oklahoma, of a comedy inspired and developed by Green Day. Produced by Live Nation Productions, it will be called New Years Rev and presents itself as a road trip and a Coming of Age Movie following three friends, interpreted by Mason Thames (Black Phone, Dragons),, Kylr Coffman (Glow) And Ryan Foust (Marry me), who go to Los Angeles, wrongly believing that their group was chosen to make the first part of Green Day on New Year’s Eve.

Their road trip will be “A noisy and playful getaway across the country, filled with adventures, based on the exploits of Green Day and their years spent in a tour van”tease the synopsis of this project written and carried out by Lee Kirk (An ordinary guy), who will also have two flagship actresses in secondary roles The Officea cult series on which he worked: Jenna Fischer (PAM) and Angela Kinsey (Angela), as well asIgnacio Diaz-Silverio (A good person) And Keen Ruffalo (the son of Mark Ruffalo, given in particular in HAL & HARPER And Thor Ragnarok).

“The days spent rolling in van are the best, Comments the leader of Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong, who participates in the project with his accomplices Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. You drive all night without sleeping, then you play a concert for 10 kids in the basement of a friend’s house, 50 miles east of any place you already have heard about it. And you will do it again the next day, and the next day. For what ? Because you do it with your friends, the members of this group who become your family and that is comparable to anything you have known before. It’s electrifying. May music and playfulness begin! “

The interpreters of “Basketball” and “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” will be obviously well involved in the design of New Year’s Rev. Californian rockers being expected at the Coachella festival in April, will the film promotion start at that time? For the moment, we have only seen an official photo shared by the team.
