First Teaser For 'Trainspotting' Sequel Promises More Reckless Thrills, 20 Years Later

“Trainspotting,” a film about a young heroin addict’s struggle to get clean despite his deranged friends’ influence, debuted in July 1996. Now, 20 years later, we have an Iggy-Pop-fueled teaser for its sequel: “T2: Trainspotting.”

Original director Danny Boyle returns to helm a script by original screenwriter John Hodge. All four stars, Ewen Bremner, Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle, are set to reprise their roles as Spud, Renton, Sick Boy and Begbie, respectively. But they didn’t jump on board immediately.

“The actors were understandably worried about its reputation and not wanting to let people down or to just be cashing in,” Boyle told The Hollywood Reporter in September. “So actually the script ... has been put under a very fierce spotlight by everyone, and it’s a good one.”

The film starts 10 years after the events of the first film, following author Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting sequel, Porno, and is set for release Feb. 3, 2017.
