Carlyle has acquired the film rights for The Long Midnight of Barney Thomson by Douglas Lindsay. The actor has appointed a scriptwriter and shooting has been pencilled in for early 2014.
Carlyle, 51, is expected to direct and play the title role and McGregor, 41, has been tipped to co-star by the scriptwriter. The pair have not appeared on the big screen together since Trainspotting, the 1996 film of Irvine Welsh's novel which helped launch their global careers, taking the roles of Begbie (Carlyle) and Renton (McGregor).
