Danny Boyle confirms 'Trainspotting' sequel
 

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.

I will definitely be looking forward to this.

2016????? I want it like... now lol

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

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

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.

...Trainspotting is one movie that I've never actually seen...

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

..yeah I guess that it would be described as a classic...:laugh:..I shall go add it right now sir, good thought...

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.

T1 is probably my favourite movie ever. That soundtrack :lovedup:

Same

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 :love:

The teaser trailer has me really excited for this sequel.

New trailer.



Quite nostalgic.

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.

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

The new Choose life speech, pretty spot on :joker:

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

Choose a zero hours contract :joker: Sad but true.

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

Yeah it really is funny cos it's true :laugh:

Aww i'm quite sad at him not being there tbh.

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 :amazed:

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.

I'm so excited for this :love:

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

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

Yeah he just looks the same and Begbie looks a lot older :laugh:

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

T2 Soundtrack:

1. Iggy Pop – ‘Lust for Life’ (The Prodigy Remix)
2. High Contrast – ‘Shotgun Mouthwash’
3. Wolf Alice – ‘Silk’
4. Young Fathers – ‘Get Up’
5. Frankie Goes to Hollywood – ‘Relax’
6. Underworld /Ewen Bremner – ‘Eventually But (Spud’s Letter to Gail)’
7. Young Fathers – ‘Only God Knows’
8. The Rubberbandits – ‘Dad’s Best Friend’
9. Blondie – ‘Dreaming’
10. Queen – ‘Radio Ga Ga’
11. Run D.M.C. vs. Jason Nevis – ‘It’s Like That’
12. The Clash – ‘(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais’
13. Young Fathers – ‘Rain or Shine’
14. Fat White Family – ‘Whitest Boy on the Beach’
15. Underworld – ‘Slow Slippy’

Ugh I can't wait for this.

When is it out?

Kind of don't see the point in a sequel but I suppose it would be interesting to see a couple of them in a life off drugs.

27th January.

I went to see it on Sunday, I already posted in the movie thread but will paste it here

T2 - Loved it, although I've seen a lot of people saying it was amazing, as good as the first etc, I don't want to be a killjoy but I still think the first film was amazing, this 2nd one was really good yes but not on par with the first imho and I also much prefer the first soundtrack.

Just came back from watching this at the cinema. I definitely agree with you, Josy - the the first one is iconic in its own right (I watched it yesterday to get myself in the mood), but the sequel is still enjoyable nonetheless. Very different though, and not exactly what I was expecting.

Also, it was so strange seeing James Cosmon after his stint on CBB :laugh:

I still haven't had the chance to see this yet </3

Might go sometime next week, during my week off.

Soon as it is on Kodi ill perch it
