Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Plays a Former Punk Rocker in Trailer For ORDINARY WORLD
Green Day was one of the bands that helped get me through my high school years. I'm a big fan of the band, and its lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong stars in an upcoming film called Ordinary World. I had no idea this movie was a thing until I came across this trailer and it actually looks pretty good.
The film is a comedy, the story of which follows a character named Perry (Armstrong), who is a former punk rocker that is ten years into his band's "indefinite hiatus." He's "struggling with his adjustment to the real world, which includes working in his family's hardware store. When Perry's hotshot attorney wife (Selma Blair) and precocious young daughter forget his 40th birthday, his brother (Chris 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 grown-up reality as he encounters crazy former bandmates, including best pal Gary (Fred Armisen) and an old-flame-turned-manager (Judy Greer), who offers him a chance to revive his stalled career, all in one outrageous day."
Ordinary World was written and directed by Lee Kirk (The Giant Mechanical Man). It will get a limited theatrical released and a VOD release on October 14th.
