A follow up to the film Trainspotting (1996) is looking to be a possibility after author Irvine Welsh published Porno this year, a novel set 10 years after the original drama. Boyle believes that the original team of Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Ewen Bremner and Jonny Lee Miller will team up again (as long as) he can produce a script good enough to do the first one justice. He said, "Everyone says it's about getting the actors back again, but I think more importantly, it's about whether we can do justice to the characters. They have become mythical figures since Trainspotting came out." McGregor said, "I thought it was best left as it was because it would be terrible shame if it didn't live up to expectations. Then I read the book and said 'Oh come on it's fantastic'. It's interesting to find out what the characters are up to." Let's wait and see how Renton ended up after leaving us with the final quote, "So why did I do it? I could offer a million answers, all false. The truth is that I'm a bad person, but that's going to change, I'm going to change. This is the last of this sort of thing. I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life. I'm looking forward to it already. I'm going to be just like you: the job, the family, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die."
