Production for New Years Rev is underway in Oklahoma
Live Nation Productions announces New Years Rev, a feature comedy developed by writer/director Lee Kirk with legendary musicians, Green Day. New Years Rev is a coming-of-age story about three friends (Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman & Ryan Foust) who journey to Los Angeles, mistakenly believing that their band is opening 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. Production is underway in Oklahoma.
The cast includes Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Ignacio Diaz- Silverio and Keen Ruffalo.
“Van days rule. You will drive all night on no sleep then play a show for 10 kids in a basement of a friend of a friend’s house 50 miles east of anywhere you’ve ever heard of. But you’ll do it again the next day, and the one after that. Because you’re doing it with your bandmates who become your family and it’s unlike anything you’ve ever known. It’s electric. Let the music and mischief ensue,” states Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong.
“With incredible guidance from Green Day, New Years Rev tells the story of young artists chasing a dream – long nights, endless miles, and the electrifying rush of the stage fueling their journey. Brought to life by an incredible cast, it’s a tribute to the magic of live music,” adds Ryan Kroft, Head of Film & TV, Live Nation Productions.
Green Day members Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool will produce with Tim Perell for Process, and Stella Bulochnikov for Pat Solitano Productions. Executiv producers are Ryan Kroft and Michael Rapino for Live Nation Productions and Jonathan Daniel.
