"American Idiot"? Try American Genius!

Posted Nov 1st 2006 4:15AM by TMZ Staff

I heard a long time ago that Green Day was planning on turning "American Idiot" into a movie. Is that still happening?

Melody, people have been very quiet about this could-be movie for a while, but it seems as though it will in fact come into fruition.

With ideas for the flick pouring in, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong confirmed to MTV in an interview over the summer that "it's definitely going to happen." But don't expect to see the band members on screen -- they're leaving that to the professionals.

Green Day Saves The Girl

No one can argue that Green Day's latest album "American Idiot" isn't chock full of social and political messages. But one message the Bay Area punk group wasn't aware of may have saved an English girl's life.

It turns out the album cover, a stark red, black and white image that shows a hand holding a grenade shaped like a heart, helped a 12 year-old English girl identify some very dangerous small munitions in her back yard.
