Green Day-Inspired Comedy ‘New Years Rev’ Announced
Green Day fans have a new reason to celebrate: the iconic punk rock band is diving into the film industry with a comedy inspired by their early days. Titled New Years Rev, the movie is currently in production, with all three band members, Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, serving as producers.
Directed by Lee Kirk, known for his collaboration with Armstrong on 2016’s Ordinary World, the film follows three friends who mistakenly believe they’re set to open for Green Day at a New Year’s Eve concert in Los Angeles. This misconception propels them into a wild, cross-country adventure reminiscent of Green Day‘s own early touring experiences.
The cast features Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust as the trio of aspiring musicians. Joining them are The Office alumni Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey, along with Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Keen Ruffalo.
Reflecting on the band’s formative years, Billie Joe Armstrong shared, “Van days rule. You will drive all night on no sleep then play a show for 10 kids in a basement… But you’ll do it again the next day, and the one after that. Because you’re doing it with your bandmates who become your family, and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever known.”
While a release date for New Years Revhasn’t been announced yet, the film promises to capture the essence of youthful ambition and the unpredictable journey of chasing a dream—themes that resonate deeply with Green Day‘s legacy.

Green Day are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking album Dookiein the most unconventional way yet. After releasing a deluxe edition and performing the album on tour, the band have teamed up with BRAIN to launch DOOKIE DEMASTERED—a collection of the iconic 1994 album’s songs on formats they were definitely never meant to be heard on.
In true punk fashion, DOOKIE DEMASTEREDthrows all expectations out the window. Forget high-definition vinyl or remastered CDs—how about listening to Welcome to Paradise on a Game Boy cartridge, or Pulling Teeth on a toothbrush? Yes, you read that right. A toothbrush.
A press release from the band states: “Instead of smoothing out its edges and tweaking its dynamic ranges, this version of Dookie has been meticulously mangled to fit on formats with uncompromisingly low fidelity, from wax cylinders to answering machines to toothbrushes. The listening experience is unparalleled, sacrificing not only sonic quality but also convenience, and occasionally entire verses. It’s Dookie, the way it was never meant to be heard.”
Fans can look forward to:
1. Burnout – Player Piano Roll
2. Having A Blast – Floppy Disk
3. Chump – Teddy Ruxpin
4. Longview – Doorbell
5. Welcome To Paradise – Game Boy Cartridge
6. Pulling Teeth – Toothbrush
7. Basket Case – Big Mouth Billy Bass
8. She – HitClip
9. Sassafras Roots – 8-track
10. When I Come Around – Wax Cylinder
11. Coming Clean – X-Ray Record
12. Emenius Sleepus – Answering Machine
13. In The End – MiniDisc
14. F.O.D. – Fisher Price Record
15. All By Myself – Music Box
For those daring enough to experience Dookiein these obscure formats, there’s an opportunity to enter a raffle to win one of the limited-edition physical versions. The raffle closes on Friday, October 11th at 8am PT. You can enter here.
So, if you’ve ever wanted to jam out to Dookiewhile brushing your teeth or summon Green Day through your doorbell, now’s your chance. Just remember, sonic quality may be sacrificed—but that’s all part of the fun.
