Should the California Schemin’ trailer be called Caledonian schemin’?
There’s something about British rappers, usually skanky shell suit wearing potheads barely able to string a sentence together that often never really rings true. Despite that UK break out acts Derek B & Rakim paved the way and the California Schemin’ trailer is a fascinating insight into how a pair of chancers almost ruined it for everyone.
Is the California Schemin’ trailer a true story?
Based on the improbably true story, the film follows aspiring Scottish MCs Gavin (Séamus McLean Ross) and Billy (Samuel Bottomley) as they devise an audacious scheme to achieve their dream of a record deal, by posing as Californian hip hop artists. As fame beckons and the lies pile up, their friendship is put to the test.
Based on?
It’s inspired by a 2013 documentary of the real lads and their story called “The Great Hip Hop Hoax”
All the behind the scenes talent…..
Written by Elaine Gracie and Archie Thomson, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN’ is produced by Danny Page of Homefront Productions and Michael Mendelsohn of Patriot Pictures, alongside Paul Aniello of Tartan Bridge and Simon Kay. The film is produced with funding from The National Lottery through Screen Scotland and Mendelsohn’s Union Patriot Capital affiliate is financing the film production. It stars James McAvoy too who had been sent the idea and script by the producers who were stunned when his agent replied that he be up for directing the movie too. The film also features James Corden but you can’t have everything but from what we see from the trailer this looks great fun.
California Schemin’ is in UK & IRISH cinemas from 19th April 2026
