I’ll admit, I’ve never seen the original Trainspotting, but I’m aware of it. Vaguely. Still, watching the trailer for the long-awaited 20-years-in-the making sequel, I might be inclined to dig the original up from the relics of long-lost pop culture and give it a watch. Hopefully it’ll do itself more justice than other sequels-to-movies-from-forever-ago, no less meet expectations despite the parade of other such sequels coming out (Bladerunner 2, anyone?).
Plus, if I had known the adorable Ewan McGregor were in the original (set to reprise his role for the sequel, titled T2: Trainspotting–original), I might’ve checked it out sooner.
