Ewan McGregor on Trainspotting 2
We recently reported that Trainspotting was getting a sequel and that Danny Boyle was working on it with the full cast back on board and filming had already started.
Now Ewan McGregor recently gave us a little more information about the sequel while chatting to Collider, about the upcoming and so far untitled sequel.
Here’s what Ewan had to say about the sequel.
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.
The script only arrived very recently, which was really, really, really good. I think, if that had not happened, none of us would be into it. 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.
It has been a long time coming and we can’t wait to see it after being such big fans of the original. We just hope that Ewan McGregor is right and we don’t end up with a poor sequel. While we are at it an equally epic soundtrack would be awesome too!
“Shouting larger, lager, lager, lager Shouting!”
