mistersticks Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Danny Boyle talks Trainspotting Sequel, Porno | /FilmI heard this was further into development? They have almost the entire original cast, and since trainspotting was released about ten years ago, the actors will have aged realistically as Porno is set ten years after trainspotting. But... Ewan McGregor is refusing to have anything to do with Boyle of Irvine Welsh after losing the leading role in the Beach to DiCaprio, so I think it will be a bit naff.What does everybody else think about this? Will this ruin Trainspotting? Or do you think this could be just as powerful a film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I quite liked the book and to be honest Renton is a more minor character in it so they could probably manage it without Ewan MacGregor, he isn't the be all and end all.

Bigsby Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Personally I thought the film version Trainspotting was a major disappointment, so I don't really want them to butcher Porno as well.Saw the film of The Acid House again recently and in my view it's a lot better than the film of Trainspotting.

Alan Cynic Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 They should give the role of Renton to Di Caprio...that'd be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heavily advise anyone who enjoyed trainspotting to check out the acid house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I was desperately worried that this headline was related to Britian's Got Talent's Susan Boyle: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Boyle is 'edging closer' to Porno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I just read Reheated Cabbage which features a new story starring "Juice" Terry, and Carl Ewart from Glue / Porno.Juice Terry might be my favourite Irvine Welsh character ever.

He's so dislikeable he's brilliant. Who was Carl again? Was that the ned with the massive cock in Porno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
