It’s been over 20 years since fans were first treated to Danny Boyle’s classic movie Trainspotting that followed the lives of three heroin addicts and their creepy criminal friend. It was the big break of Ewen McGregor that launched his career as well as the careers of Robert Carlyle and Jonny Lee Miller. It was also the movie that truly put Boyle on the map as a director. Now, in 2017 T2: Trainspotting has finally hit the theaters. And while the movie has only been out for a day, people have already been talking additional movies. But the cast has been quick to say if that ever happens, it’s not about the money.
Actor Ewen Bremner (Spud) thinks there is a possibility of a third part, but it will happen only if it does not look like that Danny Boyle and the cast were “cashing in” on the success of the first film, reported Digital Spy. “Irvine Welsh’s book is based in real life, people are really living in that world. You don’t want a bunch of very privileged movie actors just mining this world of poverty and blighted horizons for their benefit. We owe a debt and a sense of social responsibility with this film as much as anything else,” Bremner said. Ewan McGregor added, “It’d have to be another movie of its time. That’s what I love about T2, it feels like a movie of today. It’s the same characters and it has the same life in it, but it’s its own movie.”
Fans of the first film have been amazingly excited for the sequel which appears as though it’s going to be excellent (based on early reviews). What people may not know is that director Danny Boyle and star Ewan McGregror actually had a pretty strong rift which they’ve admitted recently they were “ashamed of.” It looks like the entire crew is happy now and depending on the success of the sequel only time will tell if there’s a third installment. Here’s a trailer for T2:
