Nimrods is a 2025 American coming-of-age road comedy film directed and written by Lee Kirk and starring Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust alongside Jenna Fischer, Mckenna Grace, Angela Kinsey, Keen Ruffalo, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, and Sean Gunn. The film follows three teenagers who travel to Los Angeles under the false belief that their band is opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve.

Produced by Live Nation Productions, Nimrods premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2025.

On April 9, 2026, the film was acquired by Inaugural Entertainment and retitled to Nimrods.[1]

Premise

Three teenagers travel to Los Angeles under the false pretense that their band is opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve.

Cast

Production

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.[2] Kirk had previously worked with Armstrong on the comedy-drama film Ordinary World (2016), which featured Armstrong as the lead.[3]

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.[4] Later that month, Mckenna Grace, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, and Sean Gunn were cast in supporting roles in the film.[5]

In April 2026, it was announced that the film, originally known as New Years Rev, was acquired by Inaugural Entertainment and retitled Nimrods.[6]

Nimrods is based on Green Day's limited success as a band before the release of their breakout album Dookie (1994).

Release

Nimrods premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2025 under its original title New Year's Rev.[7][8] It will officially release on August 14.

Reception

Dan Gentile of SFGate gave the film a positive review, praising the three "spot-on" lead performances and stating that the film "hits all the right notes."[9]
