Nimrods (previously titled as New Year's Rev) is a 2025 American coming-of-age road comedy film written and directed by Lee Kirk. The film stars Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, Jolene Keen Ruffalo, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, Sean Gunn, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool, and Mckenna Grace. It follows three teenagers who travel from Kansas City to Los Angeles under the belief that their band is opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve.

Nimrods premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2025, and is set to be released by Inaugural Entertainment in the United States on August 14, 2026.[2]

Premise

[edit]

Nimrods is based on Green Day's limited success as a band before the release of their breakout album Dookie (1994). In the film, three teenagers travel to Los Angeles under the false pretense that their band Analog Dogs is opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve.

Cast

Production

[edit]

In June 2022, director Lee Kirk appeared on the podcast Office Ladies, hosted by actresses Jenna Fischer, his wife, and Angela Kinsey. During the podcast, Kirk revealed that he was working on another film with Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of punk rock band Green Day.[3] Kirk had previously worked with Armstrong on the comedy-drama film Ordinary World (2016), which featured Armstrong as the lead.[4]

In February 2025, Live Nation Productions, the film and television production branch of Live Nation Entertainment, announced that a comedy film inspired by Green Day was in production, with Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust in lead roles, and Fischer, Kinsey, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, and Keen Ruffalo in supporting roles.[5] Later that month, Mckenna Grace, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, and Sean Gunn were cast in supporting roles in the film.[6]

In April 2026, it was announced that the film, originally known as New Years Rev, was acquired by Inaugural Entertainment and retitled Nimrods.[2]
