desertrose Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The story centers on Armstrong’s Perry, who now works in his family’s hardware store. When his hotshot attorney wife (Blair) and daughter forget his 40th birthday, his brother (Messina) takes pity and gives him the money to throw a huge rockstar blowout in a fancy New York hotel. At the party, Perry’s punk past clashes hilariously with his middle-aged reality as he encounters crazy former bandmates and an old-flame-turned-manager (Greer) who offers him a chance to revive his stalled http://deadline.com/2015/05/billie-joe-armstrong-geezer-movie-cannes-sales-1201426785/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Angel Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Green Day Frontman to Play Future Self in ‘Geezer’ Nah, that would imply Green Day are ever breaking up. They'll be going for as long as they're physically capable of playing, and probably a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it made me excited to see it. *crosses fingers* and hopes his acting is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZSebs Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 So when it said the movie was sold at Cannes, does that mean that we are a step closer to seeing this thing in theaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So when it said the movie was sold at Cannes, does that mean that we are a step closer to seeing this thing in theaters? Was it sold at cannes? I know they were previewing it but I did not read that it was sold. If it was sold it means it was purchased by a distributer so yes, closer to being in theaters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the keys to success in a comedy imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chin for a Day Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I don't think there is any doubt that he has the charisma, but we will see about the comedic timing. As is often said, dying is easy, comedy is hard. It seemed to be sold pretty quickly at Cannes, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I vote for he nails it.

I am hoping that the director for this one was a bit tougher on Billie to be a better actor. Like making him redo scenes multiple times to give the best performance. This seemed like a bit of a higher budget movie than Like Sunday Like Rain so they may have been able to afford doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
