Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong Still Has Hope for an ‘American Idiot’ Movie Musical: ‘Eventually It’s Going to Happen’


Billie Joe Armstong still thinks an 'American Idiot' movie could be in Green Day’s future.

American Idiot crash-landed on Broadway half a decade after Green Day’s landmark punk rock opera shot to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, virtually soundtracking the mid-2000s thanks to smash singles like “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” “Holiday” and the politically charged title track.
