Ewan McGregor chooses life again in trailer for Trainspotting sequel
The preview of T2 Trainspotting, which reunites director Danny Boyle with stars Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle and Ewen Bremner, opens with McGregor's Mark Renton returning to Edinburgh to see his friends again.
The trailer for the long-awaited Trainspotting sequel has been released, 20 years after the original film was in cinemas. The preview of T2 Trainspotting, which reunites director Danny Boyle with stars Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle and Ewen Bremner, opens with McGregor's Mark Renton returning to Edinburgh to see his friends again. Over the strains of Underworld's hit Born Slippy, which featured prominently in the 1996 film, Renton revives his bitter "choose life'' motto but with modern references - "Choose Facebook, choose Twitter, choose Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere, cares''.
The first film, which followed a group of heroin addicts and explored urban poverty, was based on the novel of the same name by Irvine Welsh, while the sequel is based on his book Porno.
T2 Trainspotting will be released in UK cinemas on January 27.
