After months of rumours about the eagerly-awaited new film, Sony Pictures have released an official teaser trailer, confirming a few details.
The news was revealed on Film4’s Twitter account, which said that production began on 16 May.
The Trainspotting sequel is officially off and running.
Ewen Bremner has been spotted filming scenes in Edinburgh for the sequel and Spud hasn’t changed a bit.
Boyle also directed the 1996 hit movie, a black comedy which follows a group of heroin addicts in a deprived area of Edinburgh in the late 1980s.
The first film may have come out 20 years ago, but the original cast have returned for more drug-fuelled capers.
The actor said that fans will get a chance to find out how everyone’s lives have gone since they were last on screen.

Trainspotting 2-er, T2?-is again a collaboration between director Danny Boyle (who’s since been nominated for three Oscars and won one, for 2008’s Slumdog Millionaire) and screenwriter John Hodge. I sort of regret we spent so long not working together.
