T2: TRAINSPOTTING Featurettes Focus on Spud and Renton and Where They Are in Life

View fullsize

When T2 Trainspotting begins, it's been 20 years since Renton (Ewan McGregor) has been home. As you might expect, it's a big shock for Spud (Ewen Bremner) when he returns. We have a couple new featurettes for the film that focus on Spud and Renton and where they are in their lives when the film picks up. Renton is clean of heroin, but Spud is still struggling with it. Renton tries to help him get clean and find purpose. Bremner and McGregor talk about their characters in the videos below and fill us in on how they've been imagined for the film. 

First there was an opportunity……then there was a betrayal.

Twenty years have gone by.
Much has changed but just as much remains the same.
Mark Renton (Ewan McGregor) returns to the only place he can ever call home.

They are waiting for him: Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller), and Begbie (Robert Carlyle).

Other old friends are waiting too: sorrow, loss, joy, vengeance, hatred, friendship, love, longing, fear, regret, diamorphine, self-destruction and mortal danger, they are all lined up to welcome him, ready to join the dance.

T2 Trainspotting opens January 27, 2017 in the U.K. and Ireland and March 3rd, 2017 in the U.S.
