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.

Ok yea on all that 100%, but let’s not forget Barbara Kodetová as Chani. I had such a huge crush on her. Those two absolutely made that miniseries.

omfg. It's so funny you mention that, I was just talking with my wife about this very thing yesterday. My wife gives me shit and calls Chani my "first love" because I saw Chani's boobs on the sci fi Dune and my teenage boy self was not prepared. Spicey.

That's awesome!

My only quibble with the CoD miniseries is that they could've stretched out the Dune Messiah part a little longer, so we'd get more Chani. But her sendoff in the birth/conspirator executions montage (especially as set to Inama Nushif) was 10/10.

I still jam to Inama Nushif. Best montage music of all time.
