Billie Joe has already written a general plot of the movie and gave it to a screen writer who is turning it into an actual screen play. Although Green Day will not be acting in this movie, they have said that they are going to make sure the story will be told the way its supposed to be told. If the decision is made to make the movie, it will not get started until sometime in 2006. Even though they are getting older, Green Day still is a major infulence in Punk Rock Today.
