Billie Joe Armstrong may be a Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and the frontman of Green Day, one the biggest punk bands ever. But in “Ordinary World,” his first leading role, he’s nothing but a failed rock star missing his glory days.
Directed and written by Lee Kirk, Armstrong stars as Perry, a former punk rocker who is ten years into his band’s “indefinite hiatus” and is still struggling with adjusting to the real world. After his wife (Selma Blair) and his daughter (Madisyn Shipman) forget his 40th birthday, his brother (Chris Messina) takes pity and gives him money to throw the biggest birthday bash. Check out the latest trailer and poster below.

If you've seen videos from Oleg Cricket, Mustang Wanted, or Vitaliy Raskalov and Vadim Makhorov, you know the kind of death-defying stunts they pull on a regular basis. If you haven't, allow me to introduce you. Here's Oleg on a 43-story hotel tower in Dubai:
Here's Vitaliy and Vadim breaking into Shanghai Tower, the second tallest building in the world, and climbing all the way to the freaking top:
And Mustang may be the craziest of them all, because he often ascends to tremendous heights and then just hangs off the edge with his bare hands:
I'm legitimately shocked that these guys haven't died yet trying this stuff, but it looks like they're still alive and kicking, and they're also going to become movie stars. I received a press release this morning saying that Alex A. Ginzburg, Tony Lee, and Inga Vainshtein Smith — the producers of Hardcore Henry — will make...

Read More: 7 Hidden Gems from the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival Lineup After world premiering in the Midnight Madness section at Tiff over the weekend, Ilya Naishuller's "Hardcore" has a Nsfw trailer that is quite unforgettable, to say the least. The movie is told entirely from the perspective of a cyborg, and it seems to be the closest cinema has ever come to recreating the first person experience of video games. The official synopsis reads: "'Hardcore' is told entirely from the point of view of a cyborg named Henry. Resurrected with no recollection of his past, Henry (the audience) and his ally, Jimmy (Sharlto Copley), must fight through the streets of Moscow in pursuit of Henry's kidnapped wife in the world's first action-adventure film to be shot 100 percent from the first person perspective." Will Stewart, Karina Sinonenko, Alex A. Ginzburg and Tony Lee co-star. Watch the trailer above.
