I would say a lot of Danny Boyle's movies don't sound like a movie you'd like but in the end you end up loving it. A poor Indian boy who goes on "Who Want's to be a Millionaire" and was able to answer the questions from learning trivia in his troubled past? The only reason why I gave that movie a shot is because I like the director, and I'm glad I did because that was an amazing movie.

McGregor wasn't necessarily first choice for Renton, he was given a script and told "we aren't offering this to you but just have a read" (or similar) but he liked it so much and dedicated himself to it that they ultimately cast him; see his SAG Foundation interview where he discusses this, and many other films. It's interesting af.

[@EarlOfMaladyCrescent]

I knew Ewen Bremner played Renton in the stage version of "Trainspotting". He didn't want to step down and play Spud, but he realised it was right for the film. Danny Boyle respected him a lot for that.

[@samschannel3817]

[@brianfahy1730]

[@clothilde1623]

Imo it's not in the same class as _Trainspotting_ (and the director copies Danny Boyle a lot) but it deserves to be better known for James McAvoy's performance alone. He's incredible. Blew my socks off!

[@clothilde1623]

I saw the trailer for that just the other day, it looks great! Fascinating premise, and I'm sure Jimmy will deliver the goods. 🙂

[@donnythedealer2571]

Yess filth is amazing very dark and twisted but awesome James McAvoy is brilliant

[@52BLUE]

After having read the book, I can say the accents were purposefully made difficult to understand, depending on who's talking. Different characters have thicker accents and whenever writing in the third person, depending on who it is, it can be a real challenge to read how they voice their thoughts and speech. So well written. There's also a heap of very dark and hilarious content which didn't make the film. Highly recommend giving it a go, even if you're not big into books, like myself.

[@phillipwalklett2024]

I've read the book 3 times and the are still bits that I can't "translate" same in all his books,, an I've read em all crept "Siamese" Twins " ( hopefully getting off Santa" "Choose Irvine"

[@arroscoffee]

I'm experiencing the same thing right now! Currently reading Porno. I couldn't understand Begbie's and Sick Boy's that much, but I've pretty much got fond of it anyway.

[@audioxix]

Not really. You should visit edinburgh in the work class areas and you will understand the accent is accurate, especially spuds. That is a total edinburgh accent.

[@rachbee8087]

As a Scot, specifically Muirhouse Edin, I think the actors were spot on. Sickboy and Rents are meant to be the less jakey of the lot, and Begbie and Spud are meant to be a lot broader.

[@CTScenic]

Rereading this book for first time in years. Amazing how you can basically get it even thru the accent and slang. And such a dark and funny and tragic book! Kind of a relief not being in the subject age group this go-round.

Train spotting was one of those films as a Canadian (North American audience) 17 year old that changed the way I watched movies. Loved the story telling, the setting, characters, editing, music, shots...love it. Now I'm super excited for Spotting 2 but no way am I hyping it or attempting to hold it to the same standard as the first.

[@samcotten2416]

Making a sequel to Trainspotting seems like it has the potential to be the worst idea ever. There's no source material for anything beyond the events of the first one, so the writers will just have to pull it completely out of their asses, which almost never makes for a good movie. I hope I'm wrong, I sure love the first one, and I would certainly hate for it to be ruined.

[@CineFix]

Actually, there is a sequel to the book, called Porno. (Seriously.) So, the filmmakers do have actual source material for T2. We're cautiously optimistic!

[@michaelgill1529]

It's really not that difficult for you to find out that yes, there is source material for the sequel. That there is a second book, Porno, set 10 years after the events of Trainspotting and that it's a very good book. Although T2 is apparently only loosely based on Porno, I'm still very hopeful given that Ewan McGregor had said for a looooong time that he wouldn't do a sequel unless the screenplay was amazing, and with the same writers, director and cast on board, I'm very excited.

[@almahperditae]

The problem is not source material or not. the sequel as being taled about for years, and my opinion is still the same. They could make a great movie, they have all the ingredients to do that. But they can never match the original. The original had a time, and a impact so great, that trying to make it again is just impossible, unless they made the greatest movie of all time, and there's no question about it, there's no way the second ever lived to the expectacion.

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

Plus the second one will probably be a PG-13 rated piece of worthless junk. If you're shooting for making a lot of money in 2016, you can't make a film that's anything like low budget 1990s releases.

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

***** Yeah, they follow "trends" because executives who work at movie companies have to make a career for themselves somehow. Since there is actually no way to make a movie that has a better chance than any other to be successful (seriously, they've studied this extensively, for every big budget blockbuster full of stars there are big budget total flops full of stars, it all balances out and putting out a movie ends up being a total gamble no different from rolling dice) but the executives can only get ahead in the industry by "knowing what people want", when some random thing they try is successful once, they ride that train as far as it will go. There's a book called 'A Drunkard's Walk' that crunches all the numbers and shows how this happens and how even the most famous heads of movie companies who were seen as being brilliant had performance no better than perfectly random chance.

[@oorrossie]

just pointing out for non-scottish people, pronounce it "Edin-bur-uh" and you'll get a much better reaction from Scottish people. Glasgow is also "Glaz-go" not "Glass-cow"

[@davidinmossy]

Yeah its quite funny when non scottish people try and pronounce edinburgh as Edd-in-burg

[@SaintSC05]

Nobody pronounces it 'Glass-cow." Also if you're the kind of jackass to not be aware that people pronounce things differently depending on your accent, than who really cares what their reaction is?

[@caseyj5637]

I can't believe you unironically used "Yanks". I've never heard anyone pronounce it "Glass cow".

[@SaintSC05]

Nope. Why would anyone pronounce it Glass-Cow? There isn't even a C in the word.

[@oorrossie]

Eammon Wright I really don't think the main problem is the "C" sound, it's the "auw" sound instead of "oh" that I take a problem with.

T2: Trainspotting 2 is going to decide one of the two things for me: 1. Danny Boyle is an amazingly good director of this era. (because one bad film isn't gonna make him look bad in the long run) 2. Danny Boyle is one of the greatest directors of this era.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

My dad was Scots and I live in Scotland and I often don't understand Scots. I get entire phone messages from pals of mine and I have no idea what the feck they are talking about. Countless time I ask people to repeat themselves twice and then just pretend I understood until I realise I'm meant to answer a question. My pals are a wee bit rough and a few ex junkies in Edinburgh so it is surprisingly like Trainspotting. They are all from the right generation so they tell me they lost a shit load of pals to overdoses and AIDS when it swept through the addict community in Edinburgh. The film is true to life but actually not as harsh as it really was apparently. Wow my life story. You didn't ask for it but you got it.

[@ij2759]

Bullshit

[@shanewilliams35]

It'll be interesting to see the subtext for the sequel and how it plays out. In the first it's very "choose life" but he's essentially in a cycle, so it's natural for us to get a sequel. In the trailer it's even meta for the state of cinema today. "Choose to let history repeat itself" I think the line was from the trailer... it's interesting no doubt to see if Boyle can repeat (thematically) what made Trainspotting good. It helps that everyone is back too (with the addition of Dod Mantle).

[@void.control]

There's something called "Scots" which is spoken in Scotland and is markedly different than Standard English (i.e. the variant of English that most English-speakers are used to hearing and that's considered "normal" or "proper"). Linguists still aren't sure if they categorize Scots as a dialect or as a language, but it is at the very least a LINGUISTIC barrier even if it may not be a real LANGUAGE barrier. (Also, in the book, it's worth noting that much of it is written in Scots but other parts are written in what is called "Scottish English" - which is a form of English spoken in Scotland that's connected to Scots.) When you read the book, the parts in Scots and Scottish English contrast SHARPLY with the parts written in Standard English and make it clearer that, even if what's spoken in Scotland isn't necessarily a different LANGUAGE, it's at the very least a differently-functioning form of English that has features that legitimately do constitute barriers for people who are only familiar with Standard English.

AHumanCalledSmithy It's a barrier based purely on a strong accent. I understand Scottish way more than Scouse myself. Also, most foreign people think all Brits sound either cockney or posh. If they took a 2 hour drive outside of London, they'd struggle to understand most folk.

Temptation was actually again referenced in the bedroom scene where the little girl dings the version by new order. It's probably a thing that everybody knows but I think it is funny or at least interesting what they wanted to ad to the movie just by adding music with fitting lyrics and names

[@shelby127]

this is one of my top 5 all time favorite movies!

[@discountaphr0dite]

But temptation is by new order.?

[@discountaphr0dite]

Or at least the version played in the film is

[@dknwx]

My thoughts exactly... On a second thought, it works brilliantly for Welsh/Boyle to put another song named Temptation just as the one from Heaven 17, just after the wall paintings A Clockwork Orange reference. In other words, it would have been too easy or redundant to put double reference to ACO on the same scene, but not with one of them being cloaked under another band making the link... That would be genius.

[@cheetarah9199]

you're totally right. Do you have a link to it though? Just curious?

[@dannyp4303]

During the bar scene it is in fact Heaven's 17

A sequel to Trainspotting is probably the worst idea for a movie I've ever heard.

[@AndreaZzzXXX]

actually ... I love the sequel 'porno'

[@happentodie]

Stephen Wagner why ?they are both books

[@mikitz]

I was quite skeptical about it, but it turned out to be pretty awesome.

[@yssing]

Trainspotting 2.. That is so awesome!!!

[@alisa-bg1wr]

Haha thanks! The video is hilarious, I liked your comments! When I saw the title, I was like: "Ha, surprise me". But you you did :D I didn't know facts 1,2 and 4 :) And that the writer was a policeman :) Nice! Can't wait for T2! It might be a bad idea but I heard the cast talking about it in interviews - the script seems to be great, so I tend to beleive it! Very excited!!

[@clothilde1623]

The writer is a security guard chasing them for shoplifting, not a policeman. That is not how British policemen dress!

[@nastylittlecritter]

Whenever i watch trainspotting, i need to use subtitles. Anyone else?

[@rossh9931]

Nut coz am Scottish ken

[@zodsmuffin2369]

he is playing a security guard not a police man

[@darkhero-3097]

zods muffin Well, the jobs can be seen as similar enough to be mistaken easily.

[@Salpeteroxid]

I love this movie, thanks!

[@SirPukesAlot]

Both great!

[@danxepha4535]

Thumbs up if you want them to do a "What's The Difference?" for Trainspotting.

[@guycollishaw1957]

Speak for your American self... Us English can understand the accent just fine.

[@guycollishaw1957]

And is Edinburgh really that hard to pronounce? Edinbro? wow haha

[@EctoTron1]

That's not as bad as the time I was on holiday to New York and some woman working at JFK airport pronounced it "Eedingburg".

[@orangewarm1]
