Danny Boyle: 'Trainspotting' Sequel Shoot in Next Summer

"Trainspotting", the breakout British hit about drug addiction in Edinburgh that made instant stars of Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle – and set director Danny Boyle on an Oscar-winning trajectory – will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. Should everything go according to plan, 2016 could be the year that the much-discussed sequel hits cinemas after shooting earlier in the year.

While promoting his latest film Steve Jobs in London, Boyle confirmed that the shoot was planned for "May/June," but due to Miller and Carlyle's U.S. TV commitments it might well be as tight as the first, which was filmed in just seven weeks. While the original was made on a shoestring budget of just $2 million, the sequel is set to cost much more, but Boyle says it's low enough to keep away any meddling hands.
