It seems that the Trainspotting 2 movie is definitely confirmed to be a go, as director Danny Boyle expresses his excitement over the sequel, and even dishes out his plans.
Reports say that Boyle is "very optimistic" about working on the sequel. He is set to work with John Hodge, who wrote the original screenplay for the first movie released last 1996. According to Boyle, the upcoming sequel will be loosely based on "Porno", Irvine Welsch's second book following his first book which led to the movie hit.
As to the cast, Boyle is aiming to get everyone on board for the sequel, for the fans' sake. According to The Telegraph, he said that as long as Hodge makes a good script, it will not be a challenge to get everyone on boar, quote: "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." This includes Ewan McGregor, who plays the antagonist "Mark Renton", Jonny Lee Miller, also known as "Sick Boy", and Robert Carlyle, who plays "Begbie".
As to the reason behind doing the Trainspotting 2 Movie after more than a decade of the first movie's release, Boyle said that it is to not disappoint the fans. "The reason for doing it again is that people cherish the original, people remember it or have caught up with it if they never saw because they were younger.
Although this is definitely good news for die-hard fans, some are worried that the sequel release might be a little too late, as there have been numerous breakthrough movies that definitely surpassed Trainspotting 1, and the appeal to the audience might not be the same as the first movie. It has simply been too long. Then again, we never know what might happen, so better tune in to find out.
The movie is set to be released in 2016.
