With Steve Jobs nearly done, Danny Boyle believes that
the much anticipated and speculated sequel to his highly entertaining and
disturbing 1996 drama, Trainspotting, will be his next project pending the
availability of the original actors.
"All the
four main actors want to come back and do it," the filmmaker told Deadline
at the Telluride after-party for the screening of Steve Jobs starring Michael Fassbender. "Now it is only a
matter of getting all their schedules together which is complicated by two of
them doing American TV series," Boyle says of Robert Carlyle (Once Upon a
Time) and Johnny Lee Miller (Elementary).
Screenwriter
John Hodge, who wrote the original script based on Irvine Welsh's novel of the same name, also wrote the sequel.
Titled
Porno, the novel is set ten years after the events of Trainspotting, and
follows Sick
Boy's (Miller)
return to Edinburgh after having failed as a hustler, pimp, husband,
father and businessman in London. "Sick Boy taps into an opportunity which to him
represents one last throw of the dice. However, to realise his dream of
directing and producing a pornographic movie, Sick Boy must team up with old
pal and fellow exile Mark Renton. In the world of Porno, though, nothing is straightforward, as Sick Boy
and Renton find out that they have unresolved issues to address concerning the
increasingly unhinged Frank Begbie, the troubled, drug-addled Spud, but, most
of all, with each other."
Trainspotting
also starred Ewan McGregor as Renton, Robert Carlyle as Begbie, Kevin McKidd as
Tommy, Ewen Bremner as Spud, and Kelly Macdonald as Diane.
