Calling all alternative music fans! Green Day is looking for extras to appear in their upcoming comedy film, New Years Rev. The band is actively involved in the production, which promises a behind-the-scenes look at the band’s early days.
Filming Underway in Oklahoma City – Concert Scene Extras Needed
Production for New Years Rev, a new comedy developed by Lee Kirk and Green Day, is currently underway in Oklahoma City. Live Nation announced the film on February 10th, and a casting call has just been released for a pivotal concert scene.
According to the official casting call from Freihofer Casting, the production is searching for individuals aged 18-30 who embody the “punk, emo, hardcore, alternative, and rocker” aesthetic. Selected extras will participate in a multi-day shoot, portraying attendees at a “pop-up rock show” in an outdoor setting.
What to Expect on Set: Live Music, Skateboarding, and a Mud Fight!
If you’re chosen, get ready for an immersive experience! The casting call promises “live music, skateboarding, and a rowdy good time.” Extras will be compensated with a per diem of $101.50, and they will be participate in an epic “rain and mud fight” scene scheduled during the four-day shoot, with the possibility of getting an extra $25.
The role specifics further elaborate that producers are looking for,”punks, rockers, goths, alternative, or emo young adults. The type of person who would roll up on a secret outdoor concert out on someone’s land.”
New Years Rev: A Coming-of-Age Story Inspired by Green Day’s Early Years
While the official release date for New Years Rev hasn’t been announced, the coming-of-age story stars Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust. The film follows their characters’ journey to Los Angeles, believing they’re opening for Green Day on New Year’s Eve, drawing heavily from the band’s own experiences living in a tour van.
“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,” Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong shared in a press statement. He continued, describing the unique bond formed with bandmates and the electrifying energy of those early performances, promising, “Let the music and mischief ensue.”
Could the “Mud Fight” Scene Recreate Green Day’s Infamous Woodstock ’94 Performance?
Although the exact details of the scenes requiring extras are still under wraps, the “rain and mud fight” element strongly suggests a recreation of Green Day’s legendary Woodstock 1994 performance. What’s more, that makes complete sense given the firm is a coming of age based on the bands history.
That iconic concert, which took place in upstate New York, saw Green Day performing amidst a torrential downpour and a crowd that enthusiastically pelted the band with mud. The pay-per-view broadcast significantly boosted Green Day’s global recognition, and a recording of the show was later released for Record Store Day in 2019. The band was notably supporting their Feburary Breakthrough album, Dookie.
