'Trainspotting 2' Spoilers: Movie Confimed, Picked Up By TriStar [VIDEO]
Things are moving fast in the development of Trainspotting 2 and the latest major breakthrough is TriStar having picked up the movie.
The Hollywood Reporter reported that TriStar has sealed a deal with the creators of Trainspotting 2 and things are finally on a roll. TriStar president Hannah Minghella talked about the big decision and how Trainspotting had been a key part of her life growing up. "Like almost everyone my age, I had the 'Choose Life' poster on my university dorm room wall," said Minghella. "I have wanted to work with Danny ever since, so the opportunity to collaborate on the sequel is truly a dream come true. It perfectly represents the filmmaker-driven movies I am committed to making at TriStar."
The movie is bringing back the original pack Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle and Ewen Bremmer. In an interview withVulture director Danny Boyle revealed how things were a bit sticky at first.
"The actors were very fearful about a sequel as well!" Boyle said. "Actors are a great barometer of whether something is worthwhile or not. Their bullshit filter is very, very strong, because they're going to be the ones out there trying to make a script look truthful and believable. When it comes to doing another Trainspotting, they were very nervous, because for all of them, it's a large part of their reputation and they feel very protective towards their character."
Most recently, Carlyle confirmed that he wil be back for Trainspotting 2 as Begbie, and 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.
