Foo Fighters horror-comedy'Studio 666' will hit Australian cinemas for a week in February
Studio 666 – the full-length horror-comedy film helmed by the Foo Fighters – has been confirmed to receive a limited engagement in Australian cinemas.
Distributed locally by Sony Pictures, the movie will hit screens Down Under on Thursday February 24, a full day before it opens in the US. It’ll run until Wednesday March 2, and although specific details on where and when it will screen are yet to be revealed, the film is listed by chains including Event, Hoyts, Village, Dendy, Luna Palace and Regent.
According to a social media post, tickets for screenings will be made available in the coming weeks.
Much like he does in the Foo Fighters themselves, Dave Grohl takes the lead in Studio 666. Based on an original story by the frontman – inspired by the recording of their 10th album, last year’s ‘Medicine At Midnight’ – the film sees Grohl and his cohort move into an isolated mansion in Encino, Los Angeles, where the band soon begin to suspect they’re surrounded by supernatural forces.
Grohl quickly sinks into a perilous bout of writer’s block, before he’s endowed creatively by a devilish entity. Though possession helps him regain his spark as a songwriter – even discovering a new chord with his keyboard – Grohl becomes increasingly violent, eventually transforming into a demon and setting off on a murderous rampage.
The first trailer for the film, directed by Slayer collaborator BJ McDonnell, was released earlier this month.
Alongside all six of the Foo Fighters – Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee – Studio 666 will star Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Jenna Ortega and more. Word of the film first landed last November, with a clip being shared the following month. Read More…
