Sanity Loan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 According to Hollywood Reporter, Mike Dirnt and Pat Magnarella (Green Day's manager) will be producing a Indie film titled 'Crickets.' The story, by Botello and Jack Umbrella, centers on the relationship of two estranged brothers. One, who is an aspiring stand-up comic, is dying of a terminal illness. He asks his brother, a depressed office drone, for one last request: to go on stage and perform his material for him to see if he ever really had talent. What he doesn't reveal, though, is that he has an even bigger surprise in store."Ive been -- and a lot of people have been -- affected by illnesses and its a very relatable thing," Dirnt, whose wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, tells THR, adding that the love-hate relationship between the brothers "feels very real." The musician says that he'll stick to what he knows best by also helping out with the music for the project.The full article: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/green-days-mike-dirnt-produce-717426 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 This sounds really interesting, and I'm always interested in Mike's work. Looking forward to seeing where this goes, and it's actually great to see all three guys doing stuff outside of Green Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastard of 1969 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It will be interesting, although the story behind it is actually depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Splash Time Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Aw, that even sounds like the kind of film I would watch anyway. But with Mike, it's going to be a great added extra to know that he's had a say in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 So as a producer basically Mike is giving a friend of his a lot of money to make something interesting. And maybe have a little creative influence. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Intriguing! Cool that Mike is trying something new, I'm looking forward to seeing the results. I'm excited to see how this ends up, however, I just want them to be in Green Day again. They are, they just always take some time off between albums/tours. There's always going to be breaks, they can't put out albums and go on tour non-stop. Green Day isn't on the cards at the moment so they're either going to be doing other stuff like this or sitting around not doing much, the former is better I'd say!
