His haunted appearance is still my favorite. My friend and I would watch it every day at school. 

The Ponies.... they'll kill ya

An old man telling the story of his wild youth in Suburbia perhaps?  

Man, I wish there was an American Idiot movie.

Looks interesting. And they're casting:

The comedy, written and directed by Lee Kirk, is the story of three friends who journey to Los Angeles to open for Green Day on New Years Eve. Their roadtrip is a rowdy and mischievous jaunt across the country filled with adventures, based on the exploits of Green Day and their years of living in a tour van.

The film features Green Day, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey and Sean Gunn in the cast.

It is Executive Produced by Ryan Kroft, Michael Rapino and Jonathan Daniel, and produced by Tim Perell, Stella Bulochnikov, Robin Rapino and Jolene.

Yeah Jenna Fischer teased this on her podcast like 3 years ago and then nothing came of it, I'm assuming because of her cancer diagnosis

I've gone ahead and merged this with the original thread I made about this

Finally there’s some news about this. The casting call sheet says Green Day also star I wonder when they’ll shoot their scenes and whether it’s just a cameo. This seems like another semi-biographical Green Day story from Kirk, a twist on a biopic using a random trio to mirror their tour stories. Do you think they’ll include Sleepy, the head in the jar? 😜 

Also I know it’s a poor pun of New Year’s Eve but I hope the title changes by release time because it’s awful. I recall Ordinary World also had a cringy working title of Geezer before Billie saved it with his song.

Another thought, the premise of this also reminds me of Riding in Vans With Boys with these guys playing the part of Kut U Up (was that the band name?) 

[jengd]

They MUST include Sleepy! Yep, Kurt U Up was the band name.  Thought that project had sunk without trace, I hope they do have a cameo at least.

Sean Gunn, as in Kirk from Gilmore Girls?!

Good luck!

[Little Boy Named Booze]

So that's not young Green Day. Make sense now!

[PhuzzyPhriend]

This sounds amazing. I need to see this.

The most exciting thing for me about Ordinary World was seeing Sean Gunn Kirk and Billie together. It was like two of my favorite worlds colliding. The only thing missing was them stumbling into Hogwarts somehow
