Danny Boyle has confirmed plans for a Trainspotting sequel.

He hopes that the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's follow-up novel Porno will see the return of the original cast including Ewan McGregor.



The filmmaker plans to begin making the film in 2016. John Hodge, who wrote the screenplays for Boyle's Trance, Trainspotting, Shallow Grave and A Life Less Ordinary, is currently working on the script.

"This has been a long time coming," Boyle told The Playlist.



"There's always been this long-term plan for Trainspotting 2, if John can produce a decent enough script, I don't think there will be any barriers to Ewan or any of the cast coming back. I think they'll wanna know that the parts are good so they don't feel like they are letting anyone down."

Boyle's next film Trance - which stars James McAvoy and Rosario Dawson - will open in the UK on March 27 and in the US on April 5.

[Mrluvaluva]

I know. It seems such a long way away yet.

[Iceman]

Excellent news, there was rumours afew years ago, looking forward to this now

[Mrluvaluva]

Trainspotting, Shallow Grave and A Life Less Ordinary are 3 of my favourite films. I really want to see Trance.

Teaser trailer for Trainspotting 2. Film is released on 27th January 2017. I don't think they are following the book closely.

It's really good. You could do it in the TiBB Classic Movie Club.

[Ammi]

I watched Trainspotting last week. One of my favourite British films actually and I'm not a fan of that many.

Looking forwards to the sequel.

Same

[Braden]

Trainspotting is such an iconic him. I love it. Fantastic soundtrack as Karl has already mentioned. Atomic and Born Slippy are two of my favourite songs

The teaser trailer has me really excited for this sequel.

[James]

New trailer.

Youtube video

Quite nostalgic.

[Braden]

Not sure what to think of the trailer, as part of me thinks the original should have been left alone.

I'm still looking forward to it though, and Danny Boyle can hardly do wrong.

[Josy]

I love the trailer, although nothing will ever compete with the original, still cant wait for this though

The new Choose life speech, pretty spot on

[Josy]

Did anyone happen to notice Mother Superior in the trailer btw? I was keeping an eye out but never noticed

[Braden]

Choose a zero hours contract Sad but true.

I didn't, Josy. His name isn't down for the filmography of T2 either.

Yeah, I forgot about his character until you said. It's been so long since I've watched the first film. I can't wait to watch in time for when the sequel is released

I'm quite surprised to see how many members of the original cast came back. I didn't expect to see Kelly MacDonald or Shirley Henderson, but then it is such an iconic film (and part of their careers) that they probably felt like they owed it to Danny Boyle.

[Jason.]

I'm so excited for this

Love the trailer and the references to the original. The speech

[James]

First thing I noticed watching it was that Sick Boy hasn't aged at all.

They've aged him though, Robert Carlysle doesn't actually look as old as that.
