T2 Trainspotting Heads down the Tubes Again

It’s not often that we see 20 years go by between the release of an iconic film and its sequel.

But that’s exactly the case with Trainspotting — a film that was largely responsible for catapulting its star Ewan McGregor and director Danny Boyle to heights of cinematic royalty. Its recently-released sequel, T2 Trainspotting, was written by John Hodge (who won a BAFTA for the original) and features a return of many of the characters who were so famously down-on-their-luck in the original. Even the cult classic’s famous “Choose Life” monologue has gotten a 21st century update: “Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares.” It is rumored that McGregor cried when he saw the sequel for the first time. facebook.com/T2TrainspottingMovie
