Ewan McGregor to Return for Trainspotting 2?

'Its shite being Scottish!'

Well it looks like Ewan McGregor is finally willing to forgive and forget!In March we heard that Danny Boyle was planning on making a long awaited sequel to Trainspotting in 2015.

However McGregor’s involvement has always been doubted. He had always said how he would rather be known for a critically acclaimed original than for its inferior sequel. It’s also well known that McGregor hasn’t spoken to Boyle since a feud they had over Boyle’s decision to cast Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach rather than McGregor (It was really a studio call).

However now McGregor has come out and said to Time Out website that he is ready to leave the old grudge behind and move on:

"It's funny – Irvine Welsh's novel, Porno, is set 10 years after Trainspotting, but I wasn't ready to do it then, for lots of reasons. But now there's talk of it happening in a few years' time, and I'm totally up for it. I'd be so chuffed to be back on set with everybody and I think it would be an extraordinary experience."

This is fantastic news because there is no way that this sequel would be worth making without McGregor on board. Robert Carlyle has already come out and said he is interested in returning and if they can get the rest of the cast (Jonny Lee Miller, Kelly McDonald, Ewen Bremner) together this sequel may just be good.
