Production
In June 2022, director Lee Kirk appeared on the podcast Office Ladies, hosted by actresses Jenna Fischer, his wife, and Angela Kinsey. During the podcast, Kirk revealed that he was working on another film with Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of punk rock band Green Day.[1] Kirk had previously worked with Armstrong on the comedy-drama film Ordinary World (2016), which featured Armstrong as the lead.[2]
In February 2025, Live Nation Productions, the film and television production branch of Live Nation Entertainment, announced that a comedy film inspired by Green Day was in production, with Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust in lead roles, and Fischer, Kinsey, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio, and Keen Ruffalo in supporting roles.[3] Later that month, Mckenna Grace, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, and Sean Gunn were cast in supporting roles in the film.[4]
New Years Rev is based on Green Day's limited success as a band before the release of their breakout album Dookie (1994).
