Final US Trailer for James McAvoy's 'California Schemin' Music Film

"Stop lookin' back, dude! Give them what they want to hear." ? ??????? Magenta Light Studios has revealed one final official US trailer for the movie California Schemin', the directorial debut of Scottish actor James McAvoy. McAvoy directs, exec produces and also co-stars in the film, which premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last year. It already opened in the UK back in April and we posted two trailers for that release. Now it hits the US in October and they're beginning to hype it up. An irresistible, feel-good underdog tale about two Scottish men pretending to be Americans to achieve their dreams of hip-hop stardom. It's based on an actual real story that's stranger than fiction. Inspired by outrageous real events, California Schemin' follows two aspiring Scottish MCs who devise an audacious scheme to achieve their big dream of a record deal, by posing as Californian hip hop artists (under the name "Silibil N' Brains"). As fame beckons and the lies pile up, their friendship is put to the test. Starring Samuel Bottomley & Séamus McLean Ross as the duo, with Lucy Halliday, Rebekah Murrell, & James McAvoy. Seems like it's about some wild and crazy good times. A cautionary tale, for sure, but also an entertaining story about young Scottish dreamers. // Continue Reading ›
