Green Day Mind‏@GreenDayMind

Michael Mayer said that they don't know when the movie will come out due to Hollywood bullshit, but Billie Joe will play St. Jimmy.

Edit by Andres:

Here's a post on GDA about it.

This movie is not going to happen.....

Or... The rehab was a hoax and they filmed all of billies scenes that time... Conspiracy!!!

[The Forgotten]

Although idk how I feel about Billie being St. Jimmy....

[Ludwig van Beethoven]

Billie Joe+ Green Day+ St.Jimmy + Billie Joe as St.Jimmy+ American idiot+ movie= OH MY BEETHOVEN THIS IS AWESOME

[MaraGreenDay]

I really doubt this movie is ever going to happen, don't know why

I don't know why but I think that in this kind of quotes it doesn't matter

[Malleus]

I hope he doesn't fuck it up.

He invented it. He can't fuck up, only your perception of what St. jimmy should be like can be fucked up

[The Forgotten]

but... what exactly is Green Day minds source?

[JIGD13]

This rumor isn't exactly new, it's been floating around at least since 2010-11.

What the movie? yes

Billie plying St.Jimmy role I've never heard of that and if was a rumour is not a rumor anymore

[MaraGreenDay]

[tdlyon]

I kind of don't want the movie to be made tbh...it forces me to acknowledge the existence of the musical.

[JIGD13]

I think Billie said that on twitter....

Bad acting can fuck anything up. I'm not saying I think Billie is bad or anything, I don't think he's that bad at all, but this is pretty big, especially for him. He could suck.

[Florence]

:woot: OMFG

IS THIS THE REAL LIFE OR JUST FANTASY I'm so fucking happy!!

[Sirens-of-Decay]

I don't know how I feel about Billie playing St.Jimmy. I don't know, I just think it's more of a teenage role I guess?

[itz_brittany87]

In other words, don't get too excited for another 5 years.

That;s just as bad saying something will come out "soon". Right?!

[belinda jane]

i think people would've complained if someone else did play st. jimmy anyway, so it's good a member of green day is confirmed to be in the movie.

and billie can just get acting lessons from his best friend, Paul Rudd
