TriStar Pictures' T2 Trainspotting is a sequel to the 1996 cult classic film Trainspotting. Directed by Danny Boyle, T2 Trainspotting was released in 2017 and features the original cast of the first Trainspotting movie, including Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller, and Ewen Bremner.

The film explores the theme of nostalgia and the consequences of past actions. The story takes place 20 years after the events of the first movie, with Mark Renton (played by McGregor) returning to Scotland to find his old friends, including beggar turned successful businessman Simon 'Sick Boy' Williamson (played by Miller) and violent ex-convict Francis Begbie (played by Carlyle).
