| Green Day's 'American Idiot' movie has 'green light from HBO'
Green Day have revealed that progress in finally being made on the long-awaited movie adaptation of their seminal album 'American Idiot'.
The politically-charged 2004 album saw a revival of their career, and was later turned into a Broadway Musical with a spin-off in London. It has been tipped and discussed to be made into a film since its release, before reports emerged in 2011 of Tom Hanks wanting to produce it, before the film was finally confirmed in 2013 and playwright Rolin Jones revealed he was 'finishing up' the script back the following year. Now, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has told NME that progress is well underway with the project, that HBO were behind it and that he'd be reprising his own Broadway role as the character St. Jimmy. "That’s the plan right now, yeah," said Armstrong. "We’ve got a green light from HBO, and the script is currently going through a couple of rewrites here and there, so I’m not sure when exactly we’re going to start shooting, but it’s definitely all systems go at the moment." Billie interpreterà il ruolo di St. Jimmy
