It promises to be the oval ball game's answer to the film that was supposed to make Ally McCoist a star of the big screen.
And former Scotland stalwarts Gavin Hastings and Cammy Mather are set for their own brush with stardom after winning roles in the new feature film.
They will be hoping to fare better than the former Rangers striker, whose debut movie, A Shot at Glory, notoriously sank without trace - despite its big name star and the fact it was made by Hollywood veteran Robert Duvall.
The finishing touches are being made to Play On, a US-made drama about a Scots-born rugby player, which was partly shot in Edinburgh.
A US-born filmmaker, himself a former rugby player who spent a year at Watsonians in the 1990s, is behind the movie, which is to be entered for this year's Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Both Edinburgh Rugby and Watsonians provided players for scenes in the film to help make them as authentic as possible.
The film-makers spent ten days shooting in Scotland, between Edinburgh and the Borders, last autumn, with the remainder of filming taking place in Kansas.
Edinburgh Rugby's current home at Murrayfield and Watsonians' ground at Myreside, along with various locations in Leith, feature in Play On, described as a coming-of-age drama charting the ups and downs of the relationship between a father and his son.
The story concerns the son of a former Scotland star struggling to follow in his father's illustrious footsteps.
He quits playing professional rugby in Scotland for a career as an American Football kicker in the US, but struggles to adapt to his new life on and off the field.
The father and son in the film are played by veteran actor Chard Hayward and his real-life son Adam Gray-Hayward, and the low-budget movie is due for completion in March.
Play On's writer and producer, Al Dekin, said:
"While we brought over 12 actors for the shoot, we used many extras and filled smaller roles with Scottish actors.
"Many of the extras were players at Watsonians, Edinburgh Rubgy or Melrose. We're planning to seek a distributor initially in the US, but given the international nature of the storyline and the global reach of rugby we'll be pressing to find international distribution shortly thereafter.
"We're also hoping to enter the film for a number of festivals, including Edinburgh." 
Gavin Hastings has a cameo role as a selector in the film, and had to deliver a couple of lines - although it is not known if he will make the final cut.
Cammy Mather said:
"Around 20 of the boys and myself were used for the filming and we should all be in the final film.
"I don't know what'll happen to the film, although I think they're hoping it'll be shown around the time of the Rugby World Cup later this year. In the meantime we're all looking forward to walking down the red carpet at Cannes!"
