confirmed in an interview that it will go into production next year for HBO Armstrong played the Saint Jimmy role in the American Idiot musical on Broadway. He’s set to reprise the key role in a HBO movie version of the musical, which is scheduled for production next year. “I’m one of the writers, it’s a very slow moving process, it moves at snail pace. I’m open for anything with acting. I think it’d be fun to play the Riddler in the next Suicide Squad, that would kick ass”. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/music/green-days-billie-joe-armstrong-doesnt-want-a-pity-party-now-hes-clean-and-sober-after-rehab/news-story/2f6e02f979f31af4e9c0c03477e0b97f?utm_source=SMTimes.org&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A dailytelegraphmusicndm (Daily Telegraph | Music)

Lin Manuel Miranda (of Hamilton) just quoted GDA on Twitter and Facebook about this!!

Rolling Stone review of RevRad: 4/5 http://www.rollingstone.com/music/albumreviews/green-day-older-wiser-mad-as-hell-in-revolution-radio-w443594

Because he's the only reason anyone would watch it.

Why not??? What are you upset about. I can't wait, it should be great!! HBO does some amazing films, in many cases better than theatrical releases.

Just heard Still Breathing on the MLB playoffs with Giants and Mets. They played it after coming back from commercial. You could here it played in the stadium.

I'm so excited about everything that's going on in the Green Day world right now. It's amazing.

Omg I just listened an interview with Tre with a mexican radio show and he said they WILL come to México with this tour Holy shit!!!! I don't wanna get too excited but omg I'm actually shaking right now!!!

Jesse Malin is one of the owners not Jeff. Same initials though!

Maybe this will be a dookie movie, who knows.

I still see the production of this movie like a science fiction plot, but who knows, maybe a good success of RevRad will speed up the process. And a Billie Riddler would be amazing

Although I know the word in Too Dumb to Die is "cello", I keep hearing "I feel like a cholo", because of Aaron Cometbus describing Billie as looking like a "sleepy cholo" in In China With Green Day

Hoping my album will have arrived by the time I get home tonight, was shipped on Tuesday. Quite excited. Haven't gone for the leak at all and have waited it out.

"I think it’d be fun to play the Riddler in the next Suicide Squad, that would kick ass”. What an awesome interview, loved it!

I haven't got any good new ones yet, but I would like to say that the line "'Cause we're all bloody freaks and we'll give you the creeps" in Bouncing Off the Wall makes up for the fact that it doesn't say "it's pretty bloody sad" (really "but it's sad") in Favourite Son. I forgive them.

In other words, don't get too excited for another 5 years.

I really doubt this movie is ever going to happen, don't know why

This movie is not going to happen..... Or... The rehab was a hoax and they filmed all of billies scenes that time... Conspiracy!!!

Was it Berlin? They always play there. I think Jeff Matika owns part of it

I feel like I just realized for the first time recently just how well-loved these guys are. Which sounds silly–obviously they're an extremely popular band with a huge fanbase. But I've lately been noticing and appreciating how supportive industry folks are who seem genuinely happy to have them back when interviewing them or reviewing the album. It's touching to see how many people have been rooting for them to succeed. In my generation (or at least the people I went to school with), Green Day stopped being cool after 2007 or so. From that POV, it's hard to gauge how much people like them. But I'm finding that they're really respected and liked, and that just makes me very happy.

I didn't see it but I trust HBO with it. They've made many good films and shows lately.

I pray the HBO gods to let us have something completely different from that Vinyl boring thing.

I see what you did there

i'm watching the MLB NL Wild Card game on ESPN and they played "Still Breathing" during a quick highlight recap when they came back from commercial

Please let this happen.

He's so short he could play Penguin. That would be interesting to see him in an action movie like that though. It would be very physical with lots of stunts. He would have to train and workout.

Saying this here so I'm not going off topic elsewhere, I keep seeing people saying the 99 Revs tour was bad but I honestly don't think there was anything wrong with the majority of shows I went to. Yeah, looking back the pre-rehab stuff was off and they were definitely nervous in Chicago because it was the first arena show, but at all the others I went to I thought they were at their best. Two of the best GD shows I've ever seen (Pittsburgh and Emirates) were on that tour. I got accused of blindly loving everything they do last time I said this but that is definitely not the case When you've been travelling and lining up for a lot of shows it's easy to get ratty and critical but I really didn't.

All mine.

He invented it. He can't fuck up, only your perception of what St. jimmy should be like can be fucked up

ok so this movie is still even happening...... FUCK YES. Although idk how I feel about Billie being St. Jimmy....
