It’s one of the UK’s most iconic films and now the plot details for a Trainspotting squeal have been released.

Speaking to Vice, author Irvine Welsh revealed: “It’s very much telling a story about Edinburgh as it currently is. The main element to the story is basically Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy and Spud getting back together again, and it tells the story of them getting involved in the vice industry in a very innovative way.”

Production for the movie has already begun and filming is set to commence in May.

In an interview with Collider, Ewan McGregor certainly stirred excitement for fans of the original movie:

“None of us want to make a poor sequel to it. So had we not been presented with the most extraordinary script, which we were, I think we wouldn’t be making the sequel. But because we were, we are,” he explained.

“The script only arrived very recently, [and it] was really, really, really good”.

If you haven’t seen the first movie yet here’s the trailer – you won’t be disappointed.
