Trainspotting sequel gets a teaser trailer
It’s judgement day for Danny Boyle's long-awaited Trainspotting sequel. After years of umming-and-aahing, rumours and hearsay, filming on the follow-up to the cult British classic officially began today, and an announcement trailer has been released to mark the occasion.
https://youtu.be/HvWXuXTIM_w
There’s no new footage in this trailer, which edits together clips from the original film, set to Iggy Pop’s ? For Life, the de facto theme tune of the first film. But it does confirm that filming began on May 16, and that the original key cast of Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle will reprise their characters as Renton, Spud, Sick Boy and Begbie, respectively.
The trailer also appears to confirm that the title is T2, though this may not be the final official title. The screenplay, written by John Hodge (screenwriter for the original) is loosely adapting Irvine Welsh’s novel sequel Porno, and it was never likely to adopt that title. But T2 maybe seems a smidge unlikely too, given the Terminator-shaped sequel that has already come to pass with that moniker.
Ewan McGregor himself told us that the sequel was entitled T2 on the latest edition of the Empire Podcast, but we naturally assumed he was joking. Perhaps not?
Whatever it’s called, Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting sequel arrives in cinemas in January 2017, just over two decades after the original. We haven't had news that good since Archie Gemmill scored against Holland in 1978.
Read Empire’s on-set report of the original Trainspotting, from 1996.

Get on it as soon as possible! For me it's a personal top 10 film. -
First film was really great. Funny, but really depressing at the same time. I could relate to some stuff in it too. Its been years since i saw the first one but i am gonna watch it again probably tonight.
I wonder what the story is going to be. Wonder if the cast relapses or gets involved in something else. Excited to see the sequel though. 20 years later, ? haha. -

The first solidified Danny Boyle as a force in film. I hope the 2nd is worthy.

New Trailer for Danny Boyle’s ‘T2: Trainspotting’ Expands Scope
Following Steve Jobs, as overlooked as a star-studded film about the century’s most famous technical mind might be, Danny Boyle has returned to territory that will certainly get him more attention for this next film. His next film is a sequel to Trainspotting, his 1996 feature about a group of self-destructive heroin users. Featuring the return of Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, and Robert Carlyle, the second trailer has arrived.
This, too, contains an energetic blast of imagery as our gang reunites after two decades, though this expands the scope somewhat — at least in the sense that one might be able to deduce what, exactly, is spurring this reunion in the first place. With a script by John Hodge and photography from Anthony Dod Mantle, check out the trailer below.
Watch the preview below, and see a new image (via Empire):

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.
T2 will be released on January 27, 2017 in the U.K., and on March 3 in the U.S., where it will be called T2: Trainspotting.

Cannot ? wait!

Just come back from watching it.
It was never going to top the original, but then not much can and nobody would expect it to. Still a seriously enertaining film that is a lot more emotional than the first. The ending is a bit of a downer though. -
