British cult hit Trainspotting is getting an update from today (March 17), by which we mean its sequel T2 is opening in U.S. theaters. Last time we checked, it was 1996, and Renton (Ewan McGregor) was living it more than a little large in Edinburgh with pals Begbie (Robert Carlyle), Spud (Ewen Bremner), and Sickboy (Jonny […]
Trainspotting 2 doesn’t open in U.S. theaters until March, but old friends Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller, and Ewen Bremner have been doing the interview rounds in the run-up to its release in the U.K. this week. One of them, however, has been dishing the dirt on another big movie he has coming out, and […]
Can lightning strike twice? That’s what fans of Trainspotting are wondering in the lead-up to the sequel opening in theaters next year. The original 1996 film so perfectly captured a place and a moment in time, not to mention a scene not often seen on the big screen, it became a cult classic, so a […]
The trailer released today (November 3) of the long-awaited sequel to ’90s cult classic Trainspotting starts familiarly enough: There’s the frantic beat of “Born Slippy” by Underworld, a frenetic series of shots of Edinburgh, before Ewan McGregor starts a voiceover with the words “Choose Life.” It’s only with his mention of “Facebook,” “Twitter,” and “Instagram” that we realize this is […]
It looks like the Trainspotting sequel now has an official title, T2: Trainspotting, as seen in the recently released teaser trailer below.

There’s been speculation about the sequel to the 1996 cult classic, but now it’s official: Trainspotting 2 starts filming today (May 16) and will open in theaters on January 27, 2017. A new teaser trailer released over the weekend broke the news, and while it doesn’t reveal any new footage, it does feature a new take on that famous […]
Ready to feel old? Really, really old? Cult classic Trainspotting, the film that propelled Ewan McGregor to stardom, led Slumdog Millionaire and Steve Jobs director Danny Boyle to move to Hollywood, and unleashed a soundtrack almost as iconic and redolent of the 1990s as Pulp Fiction‘s, came out twenty years ago in 1996. We’ll just let […]
Trainspotting director Danny Boyle recently confirmed that he has his eye set on next summer to start filming the sequel for the 1996 film, marking the 20th anniversary of the original release. There was some back and forth with the cast, but it sounds like the script and schedules are set. The returning actors—Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen […]
The sequel to Irvine Welsh‘s novel Trainspotting is called Porno. But it turns out director Danny Boyle, who brought the film adaptation to the big screen in 1996, is changing the name of the forthcoming sequel. The new name hasn’t been announced, but we do know that it’s not Porno. Boyle played around with alternative […]
Danny Boyle‘s new film Steve Jobs, starring Michael Fassbender in the title role, has yet to hit theaters (it’s coming October 9) and the English director (Slumdog Millionaire) is already making plans for his next project.
