Green Day are going all out for New Years Rev, the upcoming comedy film from Lee Kirk that follows three best friends who embark on a road trip to open for the band at a New Year’s Eve concert, not realizing the opportunity was a prank. The band drew inspiration from the years Green Day spent living in a tour van, driving from show to show and sleeping in precarious places just for the thrill of playing music with their best friends. “Forcing their way to drop off a demo to their beloved idols in hopes of earning some recognition, they instead get an extremely rare opportunity — to open up for Green Day at their New Year’s concert,” a synopsis for the film reads. “It’s packed with all of your favorite Green Day songs, loaded with mischief, and lots of familiar faces,” Green Day shared on Instagram, noting cast members McKenna Grace, Fred Armisen, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Bobby Lee, and more. ​​​”Punks, emo, hardcore, alternative and rocker young adults, aged 18-30, are needed for the feature film NEW YEARS REV, featuring the band Green Day,” the call read.
