The road-trip comedy about a band travelling across America to support the Cali punk legends hits cinemas next month
Ever wondered what it might have been like in the first years of Green Day, before they became the biggest punk band on the planet (twice)? Wonder no more: next month Nimrods, the new road-trip comedy movie from director Lee Kirk, hits cinemas, telling the story of, if not exactly that, something remarkably similar.
Featuring the band themselves, it tells the story of a young lad who gets a call asking if his band want to open for Green Day on New Year's Eve. Not realising it's a prank, he hits the road in a desperate attempt to get to LA on time for the show.
The trailer's just dropped below. If that's whetted your appetite, there's global screenings on August 11, followed by a U.S. release on August 14. To find your nearest cinema and get more details on the movie and its massive soundtrack album, visit the movie's official website.
