And we got the idea of doing it, but it depends on [the actors] being quite a bit older than they are at the moment. They need to have a bit of age. Our take on it is, their headiness - these guys who lived at the absolute brink, felt they were invincible and felt they could abuse themselves to the absolute limit - suddenly hit middle age. They're in their forties and they look it - but they don't really look it, those actors, yet. They're a bit moisturised up and looked after. So when they get a bit older, we'll have a go at sassing it up a bit, yeah.'
So, until Ewan McGregor starts looking like he's 45, the only Porno we're going to see on screens is actual porno. By which I mean filmed pornography. By which I generally mean an overweight woman riding a thin, androgynous boy like a horse while 8-10 men, their faces concealed by latex masks but their bodies revealed in their utter hairlessness, masturbate on a full turkey dinner being eaten by an elderly Asian woman, seemingly unaware of what is transpiring before her. Perhaps it's not the dictionary definition, but it's certainly the one I find best suits my needs."

Excellent. I hope they do the book justice and get the exact same cast.
Of course, Robert Carlisle was already in his 40s when Trainspotting came out. He'll be in a wheelchair once Ewan starts showing signs of aging.
If you like Ewan but want to hate him, I recommend the 5+ hour Long Way Round documentary of him and his ugly chum riding around the world on a motorcycle.
Hmm. I have been looking for more hate in my life...
This is such a funny problem! It's the opposite of the Harry Potter problem and the Data from TNG problem and the Sharon Stone problem ...and the problem that eventually we all die.
George Lucas can create an entire universe on his computer but the FX wizards can't figure out how to age Ewan?
