Inaugural Entertainment has announced that its Green Day-inspired comedy NIMRODS will hit rock theaters beginning on August 14.
NIMRODS is a coming-of-age film centering on three high school friends who set out on a wild road trip under the mistaken assumption that their fledgling band has been booked to open for Green Day on New Year's Eve.
The story is based on Green Day's real-life adventures while living in a van before the success of Dookie, their 1994 Grammy-winning major label debut album that has since been certified double-diamond.
The comedy features Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust, Ignacio Diaz- Silverio, Keen Ruffalo, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, Sean Gunn, and Mckenna Grace.
Tim Perell for Process, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool are the producers of NIMRODS. Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino for Live Nation Studios and Jonathan Daniel serve as Executive Producers.
"NIMRODS is the kind of film that audiences are going to want to experience together in a theater," said Kevin Weisberg, Founder and CEO of Inaugural Entertainment. "It captures the humor, chaos and rebellious spirit that made Green Day such a cultural force, while telling a genuinely entertaining coming-of-age story. We're thrilled to partner with Legion M and Live Nation Studios to help bring this film to fans nationwide on August 14."
"NIMRODS captures the irreverence and raw energy that feels true to Green Day's roots," said Ryan Kroft, Head of Film & TV for Live Nation Studios. "As Live Nation Studios continues to expand our narrative storytelling, this partnership with Inaugural and Legion M offers a forward-thinking approach that builds fan momentum for the U.S. premiere on August 14th."
