Remember last year, when director Danny Boyle told MTV News that he was still very high on eventually filming “Porno,” the follow-up to his break-out hit “Trainspotting”? Turns out, Boyle said, the actors are now just as excited.
Now if they’d just lay off the goddarned moisturizer.
“Interestingly, they are about to put out yet another DVD of ‘Trainspotting,’ another edition, like they do, and they got all the actors together to do interviews for it and they all turned up, so I think they’re all starting to show a little appetite for it, for doing it again, and we’ve tickled them with this idea that it’s the same actors playing the same parts in the same city, but it’s got this fifteen year gap,” Boyle said of the long-gestating project.

He didn't exactly say he would in the below clip from Kurt Loder's recent interview, but we sure get the sense that Danny Boyle has the itch. Are we reading too much into this or not? You be the judge. But check out how jazzed he sounds as he talks about directing second unit on "28 Weeks Later." And he does acknowledge that "there is an idea" for a sequel. Come on Danny!

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. But for god sake's, Ewan McGregor, don't choose that face moisturizer...not if you ever want to film a "Trainspotting" sequel, director Danny Boyle exclaimed during an interview with MTV News' Kurt Loder.
"We won't be able to do it for a while because the guys don't look any different. They haven't aged at all!" Boyle said of the oft-rumored to be right-around-the-corner "Porno," writer Irvine Welsh's follow-up to "Trainspotting."

Released in 1996, "Trainspotting" centered on a group of heroin addicts ("Rent Boy," "Sick Boy," "Spud" and Begbie), and their adventures in Edinburgh, Scotland.
