It's times like these that we love the neverending creative mind of Dave Grohl and his bandmates.
And as it turns out, Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters filmed a secret horror movie this year - and it sounds batsh*t crazy.
Grohl came up with the idea for the film while the band were in the middle of recording their tenth studio album. We'll leave it to the rock star to explain what 'Studio 666' is all about: "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 favourite 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 f*ck you up."
According to Deadline, fellow Foo Fighter members Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee will join Grohl by playing themselves in what sounds like the ultimate Foo fanboy and girl's dream. And since this is one of the world's biggest rock bands, we can probably expect a music element to be part of the film too.
There are also a number of up-and-coming and well-established comics and actors in the line-up for 'Studio 666'. Will Forte (who was in his horror/comedy element in Irish film 'Extra Ordinary'), Jeff Garlin ('Curb Your Enthusiasm'), Whitney Cummings ('The Ridiculous 6'), Leslie Grossman ('American Horror Story'), and Jenna Ortega ('Yes Day' and the upcoming 'Scream' sequel) are also part of the cast.
Open Road Films has the worldwide rights to 'Studio 666', with a US release date of February 25. There's been no word yet if and when the film will be released internationally, but here's hoping we get some Foo goodness on this side of the Atlantic at some point.
