It’s time to feel the “Lust For Life” again. Danny Boyle got the boys back together for the follow-up to his iconic “Trainspotting,” and while the soundtrack boasts some new acts for the current generation (Wolf Alice, Young Fathers), Iggy Pop’s glorious anthem returns (albeit in a remix by The Prodigy).
Nevertheless, the first clip from “T2: Trainspotting” has landed, pumped up by Pop’s tune, and sees Renton (Ewan McGregor) regaling Simon (Jonny Lee Miller) and his girlfriend Veronika (newcomer Anjela Nedyalkova) about footballer George Best, while Boyle adds his visual flourishes to the anecdote. Twenty years later, and it looks like the sequel is bursting with the same energy that fueled the original movie.
“T2: Trainspotting” is now playing in the U.K., screens at the Berlin Film Festival, and goes wide in the U.S. on April 7th.
