New Foo Fighters Horror Comedy Film 'Studio 666' To Open In February

The Foo Fighters are preparing to release a new horror comedy film dubbed ‘Studio 666‘. The band star in that feature, which they shot in secret. A February 25th wide release is planned with Whitney Cummings, Jeff Garlin, Leslie Grossman, Will Forte and Jenna Ortega among those also appearing in the film. Deadline.com offered the following of the plot:

“Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters bandmates star in a film they shot in secret, about what happens when the legendary rock band rents an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history, to record their 10th album. Trouble is, frontman Grohl is creatively blocked, and when evil forces in the house sink into his consciousness, the creative juices begin flowing but so does the blood. Can Foo Fighters’ complete the album, with the band still alive to tour?”

Grohl wrote the story for the feature, while Jeff Buhler handled the script. BJ McDonnell, who metal fans may know for his work with Slayer on their ‘Repentless” ‘killogy’ of music videos, directed the feature. Grohl himself told Deadline of it:

“After decades of ridiculous music videos and numerous music documentaries under our collective belts, it was finally time to take it to the next level… A full length feature horror comedy film. Like most things Foo, Studio 666 began with a far fetched idea that blossomed into something bigger than we ever imagined possible. Filmed at the same house where we recorded our latest album ‘Medicine at Midnight‘ — told you that place was haunted! — we wanted to recapture the classic magic that all of our favorite rock and roll movies had, but with a twist: hilarious gore that fucking rocks. And now, with the help of Tom Ortenberg and the team at Open Road Films we can finally let this cat out of the bag after keeping it our best kept secret for two years. Be ready to laugh, scream, and headbang in your popcorn. Studio 666 will fuck you up.”
