Ahh come on skagboys is better fun than the other two but it’s a bit of fan service. Trainspotting is the real deal

hmmmmm

I’ve read that it’s only loosely based on Porno (which I still haven’t got round to reading) which is a bit worrying. Don’t want a whole load of crowd-pleasing references to the first film at the expense of a good story (if it is a good story).

I’ll definitely be watching anyway, would like to be pleasantly surprised or surprised by unpleasantness. Either would be good.

Always feel like i’m being negative for the sake of it, but it genuinely doesn’t look very good to me. I love Trainspotting, but it’s such a seminal film, idk, a sequel just seems unecessary. Kind of liked the characters left the way they were. Obviously i’ll go and watch it, but more because it feels like an event than due to genuine interest or even morbid curiosity.

Eh it’ll probably be alright, but not expecting greatness.

I’m really excited for this one. Must’ve watched the trailer about 10 times yesterday even though at first it looked more like an homage than a sequel.
I really have to disagree with Sheeldz who reckons that Porno is garbage, its not! Its a smartly written and very funny follow up to Trainspotting, albeit very different in tone and theme. I think (and hope) that most of the “Porno” elements of the book will be largely removed or changed for the film as i don’t think that they will translate very well on screen and base it more on Renton’s return to edinburgh and his reconnection (and in one case avoidance) with his old mates.
Skag boys is the one i struggled with, in fact i’ve been reading it off and on since it came out four years ago i just can’t seem to connect with it as much as the other two but hopefully i’ll finish it before the new film comes out.

actual film still stands a good chance of being shit though

Looks really well shot but the whole thing could go either way. The choose Facebook/Instagram/Twitter stuff could be unbearably cringeworthy. If it makes a big deal out of that stuff it will feel about 5 years too late.

Not a huge fan of the first one but I’ll watch this out of curiosity and the hope it carries over some of the more surreal elements. Looking back through Danny Boyle’s stuff, the last thing I really like was Sunshine and that’s almost a decade old at this point.

No offence, but anyone who’s been a jakey for 20 years looks a bit worse than that.

Was just looking up when this comes out. Turned out it’s when I’ll be in Austria for work, but also turns out there’s a cinema in Vienna that has it in English, and is showing it at a time when I’m in Vienna.

They dub everything into German otherwise, and I hate watching dubbed films.
