Director Danny Boyle has revealed that Trainspotting 2 will shoot next spring, and it looks like he’s still eyeing a 2016 release, 20 years on from the ground-breaking original.
Speaking to ComingSoon.net, Boyle said:
“It’s May and June next year we shoot and we’ve got a terrific script,”
“We’ve got the four main actors all eager and willing to do it. I’m very happy because my only (concern) was that the script would be good for two of them and not so great for the other two, and they’d feel obliged to come back, but they’ve all got good stuff, and it’s a very interesting look at them again. Hopefully, we can get it finished in time to release it in 2016 which is the 20th Anniversary year, so yes, we’re on it, and it’s looking good.”
So, obviously the four main actors weren’t specifically mentioned, but we’re probably looking at Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McBride and Robert Carlyle.
So, will they be calling it Porno, just like the book on which it is based?
“No, we’re going to try and call it ‘T2? but there might be some issues there with James Cameron. I’ll have to beg and we’ll have to go to James Cameron and say ‘What do you think?”
John Hodge, who scripted the first movie from Irvine Welsh’s novel has also written the screenplay for the follow-up.
More news as we get it.
