Danny Boyle returns to direct this sequel to the critically acclaimed 1995 film starring Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller. Following on two decades after the end of 'Trainspotting', the film sees Mark 'Rent Boy' Renton (McGregor) return to Scotland in search of his old friends Simon 'Sick Boy' Williamson (Miller) and Daniel 'Spud' Murphy (Ewan Bremner). As Renton prepares for a great union, he must try to avoid the psychopathic Francis 'Franco' Begbie (Robert Carlyle) who is fresh out of prison and hell-bent on getting revenge on his former friends. The cast also includes Kelly Macdonald as Diane Coulston, Shirley Henderson as Gail Houston and Irvine Welsh as Mikey Forrester.
