From worst previews, "Danny Boyle, the director of "Trainspotting," has confirmed that everyone will return for the much anticipated sequel. Boyle has also given the clearest indication that the original film's leading star, Ewan McGregor, will be reunited with fellow actors Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner and others, claiming that "all the actors" have agreed to reprise their unforgettable roles.Boyle has long talked about his desire to bring "Porno," Irvine Welsh's follow-up to the cult novel that spawned "Trainspotting," to the silver screen. However, the project has long been shrouded in doubt, with McGregor reportedly insisting that he does not want to be involved.As recently as last week McGregor was reported to have said: "They can go ahead and do it if they want, but it will be without me on board. I read 'Porno' and I didn't think it was as good as 'Trainspotting.' There was nothing new in it."
But speaking this week at a preview of his latest movie, the science-fiction thriller "Sunshine," Boyle reiterated plans to bring "Porno" to the cinema and indicated that McGregor was on board."

I hope it's true that Ewan is coming back, since he sounds fairly certain in that quote. Of course, I may be reacting to the unusual feature of an actor having read the book well before the movie is actually made.
This post title, while perhaps somewhat of a easy shot, is hilarious.
Yeah it wouldn't be the same without Ewan. Of course, he should do the movie for the sole reason that he owes his entire career to the Renton character.
Porno is one of Welsh's better books (though Ewan's right, it's no Trainspotting.) But Begbie's foaming-at-the-mouth quest for revenge was more than enough to fuel the story.
