What 2022 comedy horror film stars Foo Fighters as themselves?

The story behind the answer

The 2022 comedy horror film starring Foo Fighters as themselves is Studio 666. The film follows the band as they move into an isolated Los Angeles mansion to record an album, only to encounter supernatural forces connected to the house.

Dave Grohl developed the story, and the band members appear as fictionalized versions of themselves. The cast includes Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett, and Rami Jaffee. Their real musical identities are central to the film’s premise, but the plot turns them into characters in a supernatural horror story.

Studio 666 was directed by B. J. McDonnell from a screenplay by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes. It combines grotesque horror, rock-star comedy, and music-making scenes, making it very different from Foo Fighters documentaries such as Back and Forth or Sound City.

The movie is also notable because it features Taylor Hawkins in his final film role. It was released in 2022, shortly before his death in March of that year.
