I'm not sure how to feel about that.
Irvine Welsh, the author of the book 'Trainspotting' actually wrote a sequel back in 2002 about the group ten years later...so I have to wonder if this is a big screen treatment of that book. I have read it and it was quite good actually. If anyone is interested, the book is simply titled "Porno".
(which is why I thought it would never get filmed)
In the last gasp of youth, Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson is back in Edinburgh. He taps into one last great scam: directing and producing a porn film. To make it work, he needs bedfellows: the lovely Nikki Fuller-Smith, a student with ambition, ego, and troubles to rival his own; old pal Mark Renton; and a motley crew that includes the neighborhood's favorite ex-beverage salesman, "Juice" Terry.
In the world of Porno, however, even the cons are conned. Sick Boy and Renton jockey for top dog. The out-of-jail and in-for-revenge Begbie is on the loose. But it's the hapless, drug-addled Spud who may be spreading the most trouble.
Welsh also more recently wrote a "prequel"...so you could be looking at a trilogy if this film does well.
