FOO FIGHTERS Record an Album in a Haunted Mansion in Reality Horror Comedy STUDIO 666
A poster and synopsis have been released for the horror comedy reality film Studio 666, which follows the band Foo Fighters as they record their tenth studio album in a real haunted mansion. The band is known for their funny music videos and appearances in comedies like Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Bill & Ted Face the Music, and multiple Muppets projects, so this will be a fun movie for them to make together.
Here’s the full synopsis:
In STUDIO 666, the legendary rock band Foo Fighters move into an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history to record their much anticipated 10th album. Once in the house, Dave Grohl finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band.
The film is being directed by BJ McDonnell, and is based on a story by Dave Grohl, with a screenplay by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes.
Grohl said of the project:
"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 f***ing 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 f*** you up."
McDonnell added:
"STUDIO 666 is a perfect combination of all things I love. Rock, horror, and comedy all tied together in a very thrilling motion picture. 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."
This sounds like it’s going to be so much fun! I don’t typically like scary stuff, but I think it will be great to see the guys living out this real experience, plus we can hear some Foo Fighters! Studio 666 is set to hit theaters on February 25, 2022. Check out the poster below, and let us know what you think.
