Producer Andrew Macdonald read Irvine Welsh's book on a plane in December 1993, and felt that it could be made into a film. [12] He turned it on to director Danny Boyle and writer John Hodge in February 1994. [13] [14] Boyle was excited by its potential to be the "most energetic film you've ever seen – about something that ultimately ends up in purgatory or worse". [13] Hodge read it and made it his goal to "produce a screenplay which would seem to have a beginning, a middle and an end, would last 90 minutes and would convey at least some of the spirit and the content of the book". [14] Boyle convinced Welsh to let them option the rights to his book by writing him a letter stating that Hodge and Macdonald were "the two most important Scotsmen since Kenny Dalglish and Alex Ferguson". [12] Welsh remembered that originally the people wanting to option his book "wanted to make a po-faced piece of social realism like Christiane F or The Basketball Diaries". [12] He was impressed that Boyle, Hodge and Macdonald wanted everyone to see the film and "not just the arthouse audience". [12] In October 1994, Hodge, Boyle and Macdonald spent a lot of time discussing which chapters of the book would and would not translate into film. Hodge finished the first draft by December. [12] Macdonald secured financing from Channel 4, a British television station known for funding independent films. [13] Casting [ edit ] Before filming can start, there is one final task to be fulfilled: the role of Diane (the schoolgirl who Renton sleeps with) remains uncast. In an effort to discover a fresh face for the part, cards are distributed round clubs, clothes shops and hairdressers, offering up-and-coming thesps the chance to become "the next Kate Moss or Patricia Arquette". Hundreds of hopefuls turn up to auditions and are interviewed by Boyle and MacDonald. Trainspotting courted its fair share of controversy upon its release in 1996, with US presidential candidate Bob Dole accusing it of "moral depravity" and "glorifying drug use" - before having to admit, like so many moralisers before him, that he hadn't actually seen the film. In the two decades since, it has become something of an integral part of British cinema, even being voted the best British film ever in a 2012 poll. Twenty-two years on, it remains one of Danny Boyle's very best efforts and second only to Requiem for a Dream in the pantheon of drug films. Trainspotting: Director, Danny Boyle, by Martin Stollery.

Renton finds his sex drive has returned and goes to a club with his friends, where he meets a young woman called Diane. They leave together, go to Diane’s apartment, and have sex. Renton stays the night on a couch, and is horrified the following morning when he discovers that Diane is actually a fifteen-year-old high school student. He tries to put the incident behind him but Diane has a different idea—she threatens to tell the police that they had sex if he does not stay in touch with her. Meanwhile, Tommy and Spud also have a terrible night: Tommy’s girlfriend freaks out when she finds out that he lost their porno and Spud gets too drunk, passes out, and defecates in Gail’s bed. But, when you're transferring something to the screen you have to go for the visual rather than the literal. We decided to make up a few scenes, but I can justify them all by the fact that they're all taken in some way from the novel. For example, there's a shoplifting scene that doesn't actually happen in the book. But there are loads of references to it and it's a very visual thing, so it seemed right. Then again, there are lots of scenes you can really go for, like the one with the opium suppositories, or the Sunday morning breakfast sequence." Howe, Desson (26 July 1996).

Retrieved 16 April 2009.Early in the morning, Renton wakes up before anyone else and takes the money from Begbie, leaving quietly. Spud sees him leave but says nothing; Renton gives him an affirmative nod. After Begbie discovers the money has gone, he trashes the hotel room in a violent rage that alerts the police, presumably leading to his arrest.

For better or for worse, T2 is incredibly similar to its predecessor. I love the original Trainspotting and really appreciate Danny Boyle's approach to making each and every scene artistic. Once again, his use of lighting, color, camera angles, and editing shine through without distracting from the plot. Speaking of which, the screenplay was very strong for such a delayed sequel. Because the source material takes place 20 years after its predecessor as well, T2 feels natural, unlike many sequels and rehashes made today. The performances across the board are strong, and every character went through strong development as we learn about what has happened in the 20 year gap and how it is effecting their lives today. Spud was the most intriguing character to me this time around. His character is the easiest to cheer for in a gang of misfits and petty crooks.

Despite all of this - T2 is a good film. It's not a great film, but it certainly isn't awful either. Its' greatest failing is that it can't decide whether to create an entirely new story - which would abandon the roots of the original - or to re-hash Trainspotting - which would be total cowardice. The film does the worst of both worlds, in that it doesn't have a great deal of original thought but it also doesn't capture what the first film did.

Even Blur's Damon Albarn turns up. But how well was it received? "My father went to the screening," reveals MacDonald. "He's pretty honest about these things, and he really liked it, which surprised him. So that was very encouraging, but on the whole it's difficult to tell till the film opens…” Petrie, Duncan J (2004).

In March 2013, Boyle said the sequel would be only loosely based on Porno which he felt is "not a great book in the way that Trainspotting, the original novel, is genuinely a masterpiece". Boyle said that if the sequel were to happen, it would be for a 2016 release. [7] Travers, Peter (23 February 1996). "Trainspotting". Rolling Stone. Archived from the original on 12 October 2019 . Retrieved 16 April 2009. Believe him or not, Trainspotting looks hard at the alternatives to living in oblivion. They're not as trendy as stealing and shooting up to a pulsating Brit-pop score (Elastica, Primal Scream, Pulp), but the film's flash can't disguise the emptiness of these blasted lives. Trainspotting is 90 minutes of raw power that Boyle and a bang-on cast inject right into the vein.

We'll know from the London opening how successful it's going to be," assesses Short, "then we'll be able to make more prints and get them out. At the initial stage we're sending out 120 prints, and if it makes tons of money, it will go into more. If you look at Shallow Grave, 20 per cent of the audience came from the West End, and from the West End and London it was 35 per cent of the audience.
