Production
In November 2021, it was reported that a film starring the Foo Fighters entitled Studio 666 was shot in secret. The band will star alongside Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega, and Jeff Garlin. John Ramsey and James A. Rota produced the film, while the bandmates served as executive producers. Hatchet III filmmaker BJ McDonell directed the film, working from a script written by Jeff Bulher and Rebecca Hughes, based on a story from Dave Grohl.
Filming took place in the same house the band recorded their album Medicine at Midnight.[1] Nearing the end of filming in early 2020, production was shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. Production resumed in Los Angeles months later, becoming one of the first films to do so during the pandemic.[2] Six days of filming were planned to finish the film, but it would ultimately span three weeks due to the regulations put in place to film safely.[3]
Release
Studio 666 will be released theatrically on February 25, 2022 by Open Road Films.[4] On December 2, 2021, a sneak peek trailer was uploaded to the band's YouTube channel.[5] The official trailer was announced through the band's Twitter on January 10,[6] and was released on January 11.[7][8][9]
