California Schemin’ (2026) | Official Trailer | Magenta Light Studios
Two Scottish rappers chase fame by pretending to be something they’re not in California Schemin’ (2026), a sharp music-driven biographical drama directed by James McAvoy.
Based on an outrageous true story, the film follows aspiring Dundee rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, who reinvent themselves as Californian hip-hop artists in an attempt to break into the music industry. What begins as a bold act of reinvention turns into a high-risk deception, testing ambition, friendship, identity, and the cost of chasing success by any means. Starring Séamus McLean Ross, Samuel Bottomley, Lucy Halliday, Rebekah Murrell, and James McAvoy, California Schemin’ marks McAvoy’s feature directorial debut.
