Inaugural Entertainment and Live Nation Studios have revealed the new title of their upcoming comedic film inspired by the band Green Day: Nimrods. The name comes from their fifth studio album, Nimrod, released in 1997, featuring the seminal song "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)," which turned into an unexpected anthem for a generation of teens at the end of the 90s. The film follows an up-and-coming teenage punk band that takes a road trip to Los Angeles, believing they're opening for the band at a New Year's Eve show. The movie doesn't have a set release date yet, with the trailer teasing that it's "coming soon."

Nimrods 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.

Producers include Tim Perell for Process, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool.  Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino for Live Nation Studios and Jonathan Daniel are Executive Producers.

From the Studios:

"Nimrods is exactly the kind of bold, audience-forward storytelling we're passionate about at Inaugural. It captures a unique blend of humor, nostalgia, and music that feels both fresh and universally resonant," said Inaugural Entertainment CEO Kevin Weisberg. "We're thrilled to collaborate with the filmmakers and Green Day to bring this dynamic story to audiences everywhere."

"Nimrods is a wild, funny, and music-driven story that reflects the culture surrounding Green Day and their deep fandom," said Ryan Kroft, Head of Film & Television, Live Nation Studios. "We're excited to partner with Inaugural to bring that energy to cinemas and continue expanding how Live Nation Studios' projects connect with mass audiences."
