A few months ago we heard the news that Trainspotting is to get a sequel! T2 Trainspotting will be based on Porno, the sequel in the book series and brings back Renton, Begbie, Spud and the gang twenty years later.
Back in July the first T2 Trainspotting Teaser was released to much excitement from fans, and now the full trailer is out there and it looks like it’s going to be fantastic!
Already I can see there are going to be many changes to the original book, but I’m hardly surprised. Long dialogues about the ‘best way to put it in for anal sex’ don’t really translate so well for movie and we suspect this will be a loose adaptation at best.
That said, Danny Boyle did such an amazing job of the first movie, and from this trailer you can feel his presence in every scene. I suspect T2 Trainspotting will evoke so many reminders from the first movie, and book, that readers will forgive the changes.
T2 Trainspotting isn’t actually out until January so fans have a while to wait, but you can watch the trailer below!
Also released this week is the synopsis and movie poster. We’re rather glad they’ve dropped the T2, Terminator-like title, or at least clarified it and defined it to the Trainspotting series.
The synopsis is also released to hype up the upcoming film and that reads
“Mark Renton returns to the only place he can ever call home. They are waiting for him: Spud, Sick Boy, and Begbie. Other old friends are waiting too: sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger, they are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.”
As you’ll note there’s no mention of the ‘Porno’ element at all. It’ll certainly be interesting to see how it runs alongside the original book! You do have a while to wait, the film arrives in cinemas on 27th January 2017!
The Devil all the Time adaptation coming to Netflix
