A Trainspotting sequel may actually finally happen.

Director Danny Boyle has finished work on Steve Jobs and is now eyeing the long-gestating sequel to 1996's Trainspotting as his next project.


The Academy Award-winning director told Deadline that Trainspotting screenwriter John Hodge has penned what's being called Trainspotting 2.

Trainspotting was based on an Irvine Welsh novel of the same name, which had a sequel called Porno set 10 years after the events of the original book.

"All the four main actors want to come back and do it," said Boyle. "Now it is only a matter of getting all their schedules together, which is complicated by two of them doing American TV series."

The four leads of Trainspotting were Ewan McGregor (Renton), Ewen Bremner (Spud), Johnny Lee Miller (Sick Boy) and Robert Carlyle (Begbie).

Boyle is referring to Carlyle and Miller, in terms of the two in American TV series, who star in Once Upon a Time and Elementary, respectively.
