It looks like Evil Dead if it was set at Sound City Studios (or Grohl’s own Studio 606), rather than in the backwoods of Tennessee.
Out February 25, the film stars members of the band – Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee, as well as the likes of Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega and Jeff Garlin.
It follows what happens to the stadium rockers as they rent an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history, to record their 10th album. The trouble is, frontman Grohl is creatively blocked, and when evil forces in the house sink into his consciousness, the creative juices begin flowing but so does the blood. Can Foo Fighters’ complete the album, with the band still alive to tour?
Based on a story by Grohl, with script by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes, the film is directed by Hatchet III and Slayer: The Repentless Killogy director BJ McDonnell.
Open Road Films acquired worldwide rights and has set a wide theatrical release in 2,000 theaters.
The film is produced by Roswell Films’ and Therapy Studios’ John Ramsay & James A. Rota. Executive producers are John Silva, Kristen Welsh, John Cutcliffe, Gaby Skolnek, Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, Rami Jaffee, James Masciello, Matthew Sidari, Mitchell Zhang and Open Road’s Ortenberg.
