Foo Fighters’ “horror comedy” film Studio 666 will be hitting Irish and UK cinemas next month.
The film which is directed by BJ McDonnell, will see David Grohl and co moving into a new mansion in Encino to record a new album. The mansion is also “steeped in grisly rock and roll history”.
McDonnell called the project “a perfect combination of all things I love”. He also added, “Rock, horror, and comedy all tied together in a very thrilling motion picture”.
He continued, “I am so excited to have teamed up with the Foo Fighters to create an old school ‘Band’ movie. It’s been years since we’ve seen something like The Beatles Help!, The Monkees Head, or KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park”.
“Take that 60’s / 70’s old school band film fun, mix it with horror and STUDIO 666 is born! I am so ecstatic for audiences of film and music to come together and enjoy our film”.
Studio 666 will also show Grohl as he “finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band”.
The trailer was released earlier this month. Check it out here.
