FILM 1616: T2 TRAINSPOTTING
TRIVIA: This is the first time
since 1997 that Ewan McGregor and Danny Boyle have worked together (since A Life Less Ordinary
(1997)). The two had a falling out when McGregor was passed over for the lead
in The Beach
(2000) in favor of Leonardo DiCaprio. McGregor stated that they have since
reconciled, and that he considers the whole matter "water under the
bridge".
Danny Boyle has credited David
Bowie with helping to be able to use various hit songs in the original movie
inexpensively because he had ties with Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, and helped Boyle
out because he was a fan of Shallow Grave. For his own little personal tribute
to him following his death, Boyle decided to shoot a moment where Renton goes
through his record collection and finds a couple of Bowie's albums.
