File photo dated March 19, 2013 of director Danny Boyle.Dominic Lipinski—PA Wire/AP by [Megan Gibson](https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/) ## Megan Gibson Sep 7, 2015 12:48 PM UTC Director Danny Boyle has some ideas for his next film project: the long-anticipated sequel to _Trainspotting_. But it’s not just Boyle who is keen to revist the 1996 film about a gang of heroin addicts in 1980s Edinburgh. The British director [told _Deadline_](http://deadline.com/2015/09/trainspotting-sequel-danny-boyle-telluride-steve-jobs-1201516590/) that “All the four main actors want to come back and do it.” He added, “Now it is only a matter of getting all their schedules together which is complicated by two of them doing American TV series.” The original film, which was based on Irvine Welsh’s novel of the same name, was scripted by John Hodge. Boyle told _Deadline_ that Hodge had also written the script for _Trainspotting 2_, based again on a Welsh novel, 2002’s _Porno_, which takes place nine years after the events of _Trainspotting_. The film’s original stars include Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Kevin McKidd, Ewen Bremner and Kelly Macdonald. (Miller and Carlyle are the actors that both appear on U.S. television screens, with roles on _Elementary_ and _Once Upon a Time_, respectively.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4024296/danny-boyle-trainspotting-sequel/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4024296/danny-boyle-trainspotting-sequel/"},"headline":"Danny Boyle Is Planning on a Trainspotting Sequel for His Next Film","datePublished":"2015-09-07T12:48:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:24:21.359Z","description":"The British director says all the original film's stars are up for it","url":"https://time.com/4024296/danny-boyle-trainspotting-sequel/","keywords":["movies","Newsfeed"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt993b06880b982eb1/6988627d196cf4b1a7037e64/danny-boyle.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt993b06880b982eb1/6988627d196cf4b1a7037e64/danny-boyle.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"danny boyle trainspotting","caption":"danny boyle trainspotting","creditText":"Dominic Lipinski—PA Wire/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4024296/danny-boyle-trainspotting-sequel/","name":"Danny Boyle Is Planning on a Trainspotting Sequel for His Next Film"}}]}] ```
