It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since Danny Boyle's Trainspotting hit cinemas, and now it looks like the long-awaited sequel is finally in the works.

Speaking in a recent interview, Ewan McGregor, who played Renton in the 1996 cult classic, revealed Trainspotting 2 will start filming in May.

He told Collider: "We haven't started yet, we start shooting at the end of May. The script only arrived very recently, which was really, really, really good.

"I think, if that had not happened, none of us would be into it. I think we're all sort of somewhat protective of what Trainspotting means to people, and what it means to us."

Don't do heroin, kids.

"None of us want to make a poor sequel to it. So had we not been presented with the most extraordinary script, which we were, I think we wouldn't be making the sequel. But because we were, we are."

We can't wait so see Renton, Begbie, Sick Boy and Spud back on the big screen!
