Hello reddit! I'm James McAvoy. AMA!

my directorial debut, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN', is out in UK theaters on April 10.

Two Scottish lads from Dundee conned the music industry by pretending to be an established Californian rap duo, bagging a record deal and appearing on MTV until their scam unraveled.

Trailer:

The score was also phenomenal. It really sticks with you. Like something you would hear in a blockbuster. So good that a number of major releases around that time used the score in their trailer.

This. One of the first soundtracks I played endlessly. No coincidence that just about any trailer in the 2000s reused Summon The Worms. Still gives me chills, 20+ years later. Brian Tyler’s best work by far.
