Following Steve Jobs, as overlooked as a star-studded film about the century’s most famous technical mind might be, Danny Boyle has returned to territory that will certainly get him more attention for this next film. His next film is a sequel to Trainspotting, his 1996 feature about a group of self-destructive heroin users. Featuring the return of Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, and Robert Carlyle, the second trailer has arrived.
This, too, contains an energetic blast of imagery as our gang reunites after two decades, though this expands the scope somewhat — at least in the sense that one might be able to deduce what, exactly, is spurring this reunion in the first place. With a script by John Hodge and photography from Anthony Dod Mantle, check out the trailer below.
Watch the preview below, and see a new image (via Empire):
Synopsis:
First there was an opportunity……then there was a betrayal.
Twenty years have gone by.
Much has changed but just as much remains the same.
Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returns to the only place he can ever call home.They are waiting for him: Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), and Begbie (Robert Carlyle).
Other old friends are waiting too: sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger, they are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.
T2 will be released on January 27, 2017 in the U.K., and on March 3 in the U.S., where it will be called T2: Trainspotting.
