The first teaser for the Trainspotting sequel is a familiar scene


Danny Boyle has rounded up the old Trainspotting cast for a sequel, which will see Renton (Ewan McGregor) and the boys—well, middle-aged men—reunited for…well, that’s not entirely clear. The movie will follow Irvine Welsh’s Porno, his sequel to the book, but Boyle has said the script from John Hodge is only loosely based on that work. Porno featured most of the characters of the original and plenty of backstabbing, though that appears to be in the past or future in this first teaser for the new film. In this teaser, everyone—including Begbie—is just standing peacefully on the platform, watching a train go by as “Lust For Life” plays in the background.

Trainspotting 2, otherwise known as T2 (at least, until James Cameron catches wind of it), hits theaters January 27, 2017.
