By Larisha Paul, Rolling Stone | The tables are finally turning for Green Day fans in the Oklahoma City area. Now, instead of paying to rock out at the band’s live shows, a casting call for an upcoming comedy film inspired by their early days will give them a chance to get paid to be in the audience of a pop-up rock show.
”Punks, emo, hardcore, alternative and rocker young adults, aged 18-30, are needed for the feature film NEW YEARS REV, featuring the band Green Day,” the casting call reads. “Everyone selected will work multiple days on the film. They will appear as attendees of a pop-up rock show at an outdoor location.”
The opportunity promises to provide “live music, skateboarding, and a rowdy good time,” plus a daily pay rate of $101.50 with potential for overtime. There will also be an additional $25 added onto payment for one particular shoot day that entails a “rain and mud” fight.

. . . the film, which follows three best friends on their journey to Los Angeles to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve. “Their roadtrip is a rowdy and mischievous jaunt across the country filled with adventures, based on the exploits of Green Day and their years of living in a tour van,” a synopsis of the movie reads.
