Nearly 20 years after the cult classic Trainspotting was released, Ewan McGregor’s Renton, Johnny Lee Miller’s Sick Boy, Robert Carlyle’s Begbie and Ewen Bremmer’s Spud have reunited for more drug- and sex-filled shenanigans for a sequel titled T2: Trainspotting.
Screencrush reports the film is loosely based on the sequel to Irving Welsh’s Trainspotting novel, Porno. Danny Boyle, who helmed the 1996 original, will once again direct based on a script by Ted Hodges. Here’s the official synopsis:
First there was an opportunity……then there was a betrayal. Twenty years have gone by. Much has changed but just as much remains the same. Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returns to the only place he can ever call home.They are waiting for him: Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), and Begbie (Robert Carlyle). Other old friends are waiting too: sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger, they are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.
The trailer is packed with all the drug use, crime, sex, and surreal scenes fans of the first film would expect. Also, for a group of people who have been doing heroin for at least two decades, the gang has aged remarkably well. Watch the full trailer below:
