Get ready for a stay to remember this February
A left-of-field release that we're very intruiged about this year is the Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters upcoming feature film.
We won't have to wait everlong for Foo Fighters' cinematic experience of the year. 'Studio 666' has a confirmed Irish and UK release date of February 25, which will be in line with its release over in the States.
Part horror and part comedy, the movie is the brainchild of Dave Grohl, who came up with the idea while the band were recording their tenth studio album 'Medicine At Midnight', which was released last year. And so, the band and some familiar faces filmed the movie in secret last year - and here we are a month out from its release.
"Yep… we actually went and made a big, loud, bloody horror movie. Because… why the hell not?" said Dave Grohl. "After keeping 'Studio 666' our dirty little secret for years, we’re so f*cking excited to bring it to you guys for a full-on theatrical release. This thing was MEANT for the big screen. We hope you have as much fun watching it as we did making it."
Grohl's bandmates Taylor Hawkins, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee and Nate Mendel will all star in horror/comedy and they will be joined by Will Forte, Whitney Cummings, Jenny Ortega, Jeff Garlin and Leslie Grossman.
The story goes that the band, the Foo Fighters, move into a mansion which is "steeped in grisly rock history" to record their next album. However, once in the house, Grohl finds himself overcome with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band.
Director BJ McDonnell said of helming the film: "'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."
Here's the trailer in case you missed it earlier this month.
