Green Day Reveal More About New Album

 Green Day have revealed more details about the “special projects” which they have been working on recently.

The trio revealed last month that they have returned to the studio after a short hiatus from the touring of ‘American Idiot’.

Speaking to MTV Billie Joe Armstrong announced that the new projects will probably make up their next release.

He said: "Everything that we do is contributing to something that we're going to put out. We don't have a solid idea yet, it's just the beginning, but the beginning ideas that we have are really exciting.”

He also says that fans should expect big things for their next long player: “"For us, everything that we do is completely, 100 percent passion- and energy-driven, so however we're going to come out with our next album, just be certain it's going to be an event, not just putting a record out.”

"At this point, to put a record out with like 12 songs on it and turn it in sounds a bit boring for us. So we want to definitely make something that is well thought-out and (that) all of our blood is put into."

"We've headed back to the same (mentality as American Idiot), and that is what we really gotta do: Erase all the rules and go in and be productive. Be creative but be productive. And if (we) got nothing, record something and just enjoy what we do,"  Mike Dirnt added.

The band also still plan to put out a movie based around ‘American Idiot’, "It's definitely unfolding," Armstrong said. "Every single week there's more ideas about doing a film for American Idiot, and it's definitely going to happen."
