Green Day's movie 'Nimrods' is a coming-of-age comedy inspired by the band's early days. It follows a teenage punk band on a road trip to Los Angeles, with Oklahoma City serving as a stand-in for their hometown of Kansas City. The film was primarily shot in Oklahoma, featuring locations in and around Oklahoma City, and the band members act in the movie and contributed to its soundtrack, which includes a new song. The movie's original title was 'New Year's Rev', but it was changed to 'Nimrods' as a riff on Green Day's 1997 album 'Nimrod'. The film's cast includes Mason Thames, Jenna Fischer, and Oklahoman Kylr Coffman, who co-stars as the band's free-spirited bassist Fred. The soundtrack is a 30-track album spanning Green Day's influential career, including fan-favorite songs and new exclusives. The movie had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada and was produced primarily in central Oklahoma in February and March of 2025.
