T2 Trainspotting premiere live stream: Watch the world premiere of the highly anticipated movie sequel.
If you’re a regular reader of The Hollywood News, you’ll see that we posted our T2 Trainspotting review earlier last week, and rather liked it it. Well, today is the world premiere of the highly anticipated sequel, which arrives in UK cinemas on January 27th. You can watch the T2 Trainspotting premiere live stream below.
First, a little non-spoilery content from our review:
“Those expecting a rehash of the original film will be sorely disappointed. There can never be a film like Trainspotting. It’s success can never be replicated and these are very different times – but T2 is a very different film. Littered with much of the same directorial style that made the original so memorable, are all present. The characters are all back– the surviving ones anyway, and from the opening frames everything feels very familiar. But it is not the same. The best way to describe the mood of T2 Trainspotting is like going back home after living away for such a long period of time. The buildings are the same, some of the people are the same – some doing the same things, some not; some very much absent. But the place is overall very different. Any attempt to recreate the old days would be instantly redundant, and Danny Boyle’s film in some ways tries to do that, and fails. Which is exactly the point.”
The film reunites Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle 21 years on from the release of the glorious, iconic original.
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.
All four actors will be present at the premiere along with director Danny Boyle, and you can watch the whole thing play out live from Edinburgh in the player below.
