James McAvoy is directing his first feature film, a Scottish drama about musical con artist duo Silibil N' Brains.
X-Men star James McAvoy is moving behind the camera. His feature directorial debut will focus on a Scottish rap duo who conned the music industry. Deadline reports that McAvoy's as-yet-untitled film will center around the hip-hop duo Silibil N’ Brains, alias Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd. When their musical ambitions in their native Scotland stalled, the two reinvented themselves as rappers from California, complete with fake American accents.
Says McAvoy, "What these two young men from Dundee attempted beggars belief and I can’t wait to bring this absolutely incredible, and also very Scottish/Californian story to the cinema. Using Scottish talent behind and in front of the camera is something I’m passionate about, and I’m over the moon to be making my directorial debut in my homeland." The film will be produced by veteran Scottish producer Guy J. Louthan , and will begin shooting next year in Scotland.
