    The Trainspotting 2 trailer has landed and it looks pretty good

    Just as ‘Trainspotting’ hit the zeitgeist in 1996, so it’s sequel, coming 20 years after the original, wants a bit of that action too. The first trailer for 'T2 Trainspotting’ has landed, and with its Underworld soundtrack chiming in, it’s hit peak nostalgia. Picking up the story of Irvine Welsh’s follow-up novel 'Porno’, it finds Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle back for some more nihilistic capers.

    Ewan McGregor Recreates Iconic Opening Chase For Trainspotting 2

    Meanwhile, Ewan McGregor was legging it down an Edinburgh high street, scattering shoplifted goods to the four winds, and talking about ‘choosing life’ to the strains of Iggy Pop. Here we see his older, but arguably not much wiser Mark Renton and Spud (Ewen Bremner) recreating the scene, once again in Edinburgh. The new movie finds the two Ewans reunited with Jonny Lee Miller as Sick Boy and Robert Carlyle as the fearsome Francis Begbie, recently released from prison.

    Renton Returns: Ewan McGregor Spotted On Trainspotting 2 Set

    Older, perhaps not a great deal wiser, certainly a bit smarter… Ewan McGregor has been snapped on the set of ‘Trainspotting 2’. Danny Boyle’s hot-anticipated sequel was filming scenes outside the Scottish Parliament building at Holyrood yesterday, with McGregor on set for the first time. The scenes saw McGregor’s Renton sharing the frame with Jonny Lee Miller’s Sick Boy for the first time in 20 years.

    Watch Out, Begbie's Back: Robert Carlyle Spotted On Trainspotting 2 Set

    Just the thought of Francis ‘Franco’ Begbie’s flights of incandescent rage are enough to send a shiver down the spine. The movie, which started shooting on Monday, sees the return of all four main characters – Carlyle’s Begbie, Ewan McGregor’s Renton, Ewen Bremner’s Spud and Jonny Lee Miller’s Sick Boy. Lee Miller and Bremner have been seen on set too in the Muirhouse area of the city, filming scenes with Boyle.

    Trainspotting's Ewen Bremner – AKA Spud – Snapped On Set Of Danny Boyle Sequel

    As filming continues on the ‘Trainspotting’ sequel, Ewen Bremner was spotted on the movie’s set yesterday, reprising his role as Daniel 'Spud’ Murphy. Dressed in an ill-fitting suit, a shirt from 1973 and a pair of tatty Dunlop Green Flash, Bremner took direction from Danny Boyle on the set, in the Muirhouse area of Edinburgh. Spud was the most hapless of Renton’s (Ewan McGregor) drug addled chums with a weakness for amphetamines and fouling the bed.

    Robert Carlyle Goes All Begbie Over ‘Amazing’ Trainspotting 2 Script

    Someone’s excited about ‘Trainspotting 2’, then? Robert Carlyle, the man who brought the psychotic Francis Begbie to terrifying, pint glass-hurling life in 'Trainspotting’, has been hailing the script for the sequel in the sweariest possible fashion. Hodge, who has worked with director Danny Boyle numerous times over the years, also adapted the original screenplay from Irvine Welsh’s cult novel in 1996.
