T2: Trainspotting

[TheBang]

It's an original script, with just some of the themes loosely inspired by Porno. It's set 20 years after the first film.

Saw the original at the cinema on a date. I'm that old. Stoked when Dark Train played during the cold-turkey scene "OMG It's Underworld!!!!" , my date said "Who the f**k are Underworld". Relationship didn't work out.

Wow, everyone's looking pretty good in that trailer.

Confirmed, music by Rick Smith. I'll repost the whole Facebook post here.

“I've often said that when Danny Boyle asks you to get involved in something, you don’t say no. You choose yes. Now it’s twenty years on and the whole family is back on the train… what an amazing journey it’s been.” Rick Smith

T2 Trainspotting, with Music by Rick Smith

Obviously a long history here, between the original film and Underworld, and between Rick Smith and Danny Boyle – a journey that’s taken in films (Sunshine, Trance), theatre (Frankenstein) and the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony. The original team is back together 20 years on for this epic sequel. #T2Trainspotting January 2017.

Rick’s taking a break from his music duties on the film next week to go to Japan with Underworld for their last show of the year – at Tokyo’s legendary Budokan. https://youtu.be/0JW52oJFHXQ.

Underworld’s March 2017 UK gig at Alexandra Palace is now sold out.

also on uwlive.com at the moment - there is a (currently) non-working placeholder link to a T2: Trainspotting section...interesting

i suspect as Rick is away we won't have Soundtrack listing until he returns from Japan...

can we have more remixes of BS please

Not surprising, really, but good news, nonetheless. Looking forward to hearing this score. Wonder if Karl will contribute vocals to any new music (i.e. credited as Underworld) or if it's solely Rick?

Hopefully the movie deals with NUXX quickly and appropriately. i mean, they almost have to reference the track, but maybe it being in the trailer is enough. The whole trailer is built on nostalgia for the original, and NUXX is of course the huge, climactic song. Hopefully that's enough to spur memories and sell tickets, no need to rehash the track in the movie.

Just announced via FB that rick is doing all the music. Seems trance was a practice run for this ala frankenstein and the olympics? No new UW live shows to be scheduled for the forseeable future. Alexandria palace is sold out.

I wonder what all karl is gonna be up to while smith is holed up with boyle. Maybe a larger solo tour or new solo material? Itd be nice for that to come to the states, at least.

i suspect it'll be like the first Trainspotting soundtracks, a compilation of existing music...for the current year?

maybe they will rename the main track to fit the Porno theme....

Porn Slippy any one?

nope only me then.....

Speaking of...
T1's soundtrack is getting a vinyl reissue on orange discs. Wonder if nuxx and dark train will be the remasters or not.
