Comeback for Begbie as Boyle plans sequel to Trainspotting

The long-rumoured sequel to perhaps the most influential Scottish film of them all, Trainspotting, appears closer to reality.

Danny Boyle, the Oscar-winning director, is closing in on a plan to shoot Porno, the follow up to his 1996 classic.

The novel, written by Irvine Welsh, continues the story of the characters of Trainspotting – Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy and Spud – ten years on.
