Danny Boyle's sequel to the beloved cult-classic is loosely based on Irvine's 2002 novel Porno, and the author says that he has plenty more adventures that can be adapted into films.
Welsh has even penned a prequel to Trainspotting, 2012's Skagboys, and Begbie has also been given his own spin-off, 2016's The Blade Artist. In that novel, the s**t-scary hooligan (played by Robert Carlyle in the films) has changed his ways after becoming an artist and family man living in California.
We imagine he's just itching to glass someone for making him spill his drink, though.
'It’s a very, very filmic book, I think. It’s almost like, bang, it has a three-act structure with not a lot of padding. And it's a lot more genre than some of the other Trainspotting books', Welsh says.
We're pumped.
