Dundee has taken centre stage in the debut trailer for California Schemin’, the upcoming James McAvoy film that brings one of the city’s most unbelievable true stories to the big screen.
The first look at the movie has already caught attention, offering quick-fire glimpses of well-known Dundee locations that feature prominently throughout the film.
The movie is based on the extraordinary real-life tale of two Dundee rappers who, in the early 2000s, posed as Americans in a bid to launch their music careers.
Their bold scheme eventually caught national attention, and now their story is set to reach a global audience with McAvoy at the helm.
In the trailer, Dundee landscapes play a starring role. Viewers can spot shots of the Hilltown multis, the sweeping skyline of the city, and a striking appearance from Tannadice Park.
The locations are shown in a way that highlights Dundee’s distinctive character, making the city an integral part of the film’s personality.
Film crews spent time on location last year capturing authentic backdrops for the production.
