Porno: Trainspotting 2glad to hear that this is still very much on their plate, and that they have these kinds of intentions with it and not turn it into a kind of profitable remake of the first one for the kids who've never seen the original 1996 flick. still haven't gotten to the book yet. it's sitting on my shelf.
Boyle wants to direct "Porno," a quasi-sequel to cult-favorite "Trainspotting," which will pick up where the last film left off twenty years later. "We want to make it about those guys when they look middle-aged... The idea of it is not to try and attract a new audience to 'Trainspotting;' it's to play it to everybody who watched it when it first came out."
other Dark Horizons tidbits:
Jane Curtin, William Devane and Fred Savage have been cast in ABC's comedy pilot "Crumbs".love William Devane since his turn in this season of 24.
speaking of tv shows, i caught a couple of interesting previews this week on Radio-Canada -- they'll have the french dubs of both Lost and Desperate Housewives this spring. i'm against dubs of any kind but this quick turnaround blew me away. and thank god they're doing for good shows this time. plus, Radio-Canada rarely buys shows from other networks (they've actually been outstanding with doing new and exciting productions lately anyway). good for them.
