After 17 years, the cast and crew of the brilliant British film 'Trainspotting' (1996) came together for a very special reunion screening in London this month. This unique event was part of a fundraising initiative for the London Film School, and on stage at the Ciné Lumière in South Kensington after the film were director Danny Boyle, actor Robert Carlyle, producer Andrew Macdonald and David Aukin, the Channel 4 executive who commissioned this lively, inventive adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel from the team who previously made 1994's 'Shallow Grave'. Also in the room on this special night were the film's editor, costume designer, director of photography and production designer.
'It's funny, Irvine Welsh's novel, "Porno" [which features the same characters, now older], is set ten 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.'
