The Foo Fighters recently earned induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. An honor they celebrated by rocking out with Sir Paul McCartney himself. That’s not merely a good day or even a great month. That’s something you can coast on for years if you want. Hell, you can retire off that. But Dave Grohl and his bandmates clearly have no interest in resting on their laurels. Nor do they seem interested in only being a legendary musical act with tens of millions of devoted fans. Turns out the Foo Fighters spent two years making a secret horror-comedy. And STUDIO 666 will soon arrive in theaters.

Deadline first reported the Foo Fighters newly-announced foray into featured films will see “what happens when the legendary rock band rents an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history, to record their 10th album.” Trouble will arise when Grohl finds himself stymied for ideas. As both “creative juices” and “blood” will begin to flow when “evil forces in the house sink into his consciousness.”
Directed by BJ McDonnell (Hatchet III, Slayer: The Repentless Killogy), Open Road Films has acquired the worldwide rights to the movie. And the company is giving it a wide release. STUDIO 666 will open in more than 2,000 theaters next year on February 25. If the Devil shows up in it we have a guess as to whom might play the beast.
The band shot the film, which is based on Grohl’s idea, in a house that is now proving to be a sacred spot for Foo Fighters’ fans. It’s the same home where they recorded Medicine at Midnight. The album hit stores at the start of this year. We don’t remember anyone suffering a grisly death during the making of it, but we’ll listen to it again just to make sure.
Where the movie ends up ranking among all-time great film’s starring bands remains to be seen. As does how well it does at the box office. But considering the kind of success the Foo Fighters have always found, and the fact they refuse to stop working so hard, we bet it ends up being a killer movie.
