It was one of the most iconic movies of the nineties, and now, twenty years later, a sequel to Trainspotting is in the works. Most of the original cast are returning too, including Ewan McGregor as Renton, Ewen Bremner as Spud, Jonny Lee Miller as Sick Boy, and Robert Carlyle as the terrifying Begbie.

Filming began in March, and pedestrians on Princes Street in Edinburgh were treated to a glimpse of McGregor and Bremner recreating that famous opening scene from the original 1996 Transpotting movie, when the lads were chased through the streets with that unforgettable 'Choose Life' soundtrack.

Don't know about you, but these pictures have made us all the more excited for Danny Boyle's sequel, which hits cinemas on January 27th, 2017 (February 10th in the US).
