Mason Thames, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen and McKenna Grace Star in Coming-of-Age Road Trip Comedy Inspired by Green Day
Inaugural Entertainment announced Tuesday that NIMRODS, a Green Day-inspired comedy film, will open in theaters Aug. 14, alongside a new distribution partnership with Legion M, the world’s first fan-owned entertainment company.
What is the NIMRODS movie about?
NIMRODS follows three friends — played by Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman and Ryan Foust — who travel to Los Angeles under the mistaken belief that their band is opening for Green Day on New Year’s Eve. The road trip comedy draws on Green Day’s early years living out of a tour van, blending humor, chaos and a rebellious coming-of-age spirit.
The film also stars Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, Keen Ruffalo, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, Sean Gunn and McKenna Grace.
Who produced NIMRODS?
The film was produced by Tim Perell of Process and Green Day members Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool. Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino of Live Nation Studios and Jonathan Daniel serve as executive producers.
What is Legion M’s role in NIMRODS?
Legion M — known for co-releasing the spoof comedy FACKHAM HALL in partnership with Bleecker Street — will co-release NIMRODS as part of its Legion M Film Fund, a vehicle designed to finance the marketing and distribution of independent films. The fund reached its $1 million allocation quickly after launch, signaling strong investor demand and a broader industry shift toward sustainable distribution models.
“Green Day wouldn’t exist without the fans, and we’re excited to give those fans the opportunity to own a stake in the film,” said Legion M co-founders Jeff Annison and Paul Scanlan. “Nimrods is exactly the kind of film we’re built for — bold, original and designed to be experienced together.”
“NIMRODS captures the humor, chaos and rebellious spirit that made Green Day such a cultural force,” said Kevin Weisberg, founder and CEO of Inaugural Entertainment. “We’re thrilled to partner with Legion M and Live Nation Studios to bring this film to fans nationwide on Aug. 14.”
“This partnership with Inaugural and Legion M offers a forward-thinking approach that builds fan momentum ahead of the U.S. premiere,” said Ryan Kroft, head of film and television for Live Nation Studios. “NIMRODS captures the irreverence and raw energy that feels true to Green Day’s roots.”
NIMRODS opens in theaters Aug. 14.
