Hi everyone, Bryan here…
I can’t believe it’s been twenty years since we first went on a drug-fueled adventure with Renton, Spud, Sick Boy, and Begbie in ‘Trainspotting‘. That film sparked an instant cult following and is still considered one of the better films ever made. The small indie film back in 1996 grossed over $72 million and received an Oscar nomination for its screenplay by John Hodge, which was based on his novel. Director Danny Boyle is back in the director’s chair with his cast, including Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, and Robert Carlyle in ‘T2 Trainspotting‘. Some part of me wish it was called ‘Judgement Day’, but I digress.
The original movie brought together a misfit group of Edinburgh-based junkies — Renton, Spud (Bremner), Sick Boy (Miller) and Begbie (Carlyle). Although much has changed since then, some things remain the same as Renton returns to the only place he can ever call home.
The boys are there waiting, but other old friends are also waiting, lined up to welcome him and join the dance. Those would be: sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger.
Enjoy the trip. I mean trailer.
