Trainspotting was a smash hit upon its 1996 release. The groundbreaking film brought Irvine Welsh?s novel of the same name to life, and made stars of Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller and Ewan Bremner.
Rumours of a sequel have floated around ever since, with director Danny Boyle openly admitting that he wants a second instalment to happen, and cast members seemingly more than happy to reprise their roles. Ewan McGregor notably had a falling out with Boyle after he gave the lead role in The Beach to Leonardo DiCaprio. However, the actor has more recent indicated that he would like to reprise his role in the film which shot him to fame nearly twenty years ago. Up until this point in time, no concrete plans have come to fruition but speaking to Deadline at the first public screening of his latest film, Steve Jobs, Boyle confirmed that Trainspotting 2 (as it is currently called) will happen soon. In fact, the director is intending to make it his next project.
