There have been rumours swirling for years at this stage about a potential sequel to Danny Boyle’s classic Trainspotting, and now Ewan McGregor (who played Renton in the film) has given people a clearer idea about when we can expect it.
According to Collider, the years of delay were caused by conflicting schedules and they have finally reached a point where all members of the team are available with a good quality script.
“It’s been 10 years since Irvine Welsh wrote the sequel novel, “Porno”, so it’s been a long time, a lot of speculation. For me, too! 10 years ago, I didn’t want to do it; I wasn’t ready to do it. Also, there was no script.”
On the script, McGregor added:
“I think we’re all sort of somewhat protective of what Trainspotting means to people, and what it means to us. None of us want to make a poor sequel to it. So had we not been presented with the most extraordinary script, which we were, I think we wouldn’t be making the sequel. But because we were, we are.”
Very exciting stuff.
