Foo Fighters share first clip of upcoming comedy horror movie 'Studio 666'

Foo Fighters have shared the first clip from their upcoming comedy horror film, Studio 666 – you can watch it below.

The video was shown by the group prior to the start of their gig in Las Vegas last night (December 2).

In the 40 second clip, you can see the Foos playing music before heading into a creepy studio to record.

After that, you see a demonic-looking Dave Grohl and the band members flying around the studio alongside ghosts, ghouls and a host of zombie-like monsters.

Watch the full clip here:

The film, which is due for release next year, will see the full band – Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee – star alongside Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Jenna Ortega and more.

According to a press release, the movie will follow Foo Fighters as they move into a mansion in Encino, California that is “steeped in grisly rock and roll history” to record a new album. Once they’ve arrived, though, Grohl “finds himself grappling with supernatural forces that threaten both the completion of the album and the lives of the band”.

In a statement, Grohl said: “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 fuck you up.”

Studio 666 will be directed by BJ McDonnell, who described the film as “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,” he added. “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 ‘60s/‘70s 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.”

The movie is based on a story by Grohl, with the screenplay written by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes. It will be released in cinemas in the US on February 25, 2022 with an international release date set to be confirmed soon.
