'Trainspotting 2' Spoilers: Robert Carlyle Dishes About One Of The 'Best Scripts' He Has Read [VIDEO]
Robert Carlyle will be back for Trainspotting 2 as Begbie, and the actor recently talked about the movie for the first time.
In an interview with NME Carlyle revealed that he had read the script and gushed about how great it was.
"We've already had a read-through of the script, we did that in the springtime," Carlyle said. "You're going to think, 'Of course he's going to say this,' but honestly, it's one of the best scripts I've f--king read. I mean, ever. What [screenwriter] John Hodge has done is just so clever," he said.
Carlyle went on to dish about te direction the movie is taking without revealing spoilers.
"Well, obviously these four characters are 20 years older now and I've never seen a sequel that takes place 20 years after the original, so I think that gives it a certain unique quality. And of course, the audience is 20 years older too - people who came to see the original film when they were in their early twenties are very different people now," he said.
He elaborated some more about writer John Hodge and director Danny Boyle's collaboration on the film and what they have envisioned.
"The way John Hodge has put this thing down, obviously with the help of Danny Boyle, is to make it about how the characters' lives have moved on... or have they? Without giving anything away, maybe some of them haven't really moved on." Carlyle said. "That's what the audience is going to have to go through with them. I tell you, this film is going to be quite emotional for people because the film sort of tells you to think about yourself. You are going to be thinking: 'F--k. What have I done with my life?'"
