I know what you're all thinking, 'has it got a monologue?' Yes, yes it has.
Choose life
Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and hope that someone, somewhere cares
Choose looking up old flames, wishing you’d done it all differently
And choose watching history repeat itself
Choose your future
Choose reality TV, slut shaming, revenge porn
Choose a zero hour contract, a two hour journey to work
And choose the same for your kids, only worse, and smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug made in somebody’s kitchen
And then… take a deep breath
You’re an addict, so be addicted
Just be addicted to something else
Choose the ones you love
Choose your future
Choose life
Not quite up to the standard of the original, is it? The social media sites dig seem a bit of an obvious and easy hit, and if you can't let loose with a bit of creative swearing on an Ewan McGregor Trainspotting monologue, then where can you?
Having said that, I do now feel reasonably downbeat about my pathetic cliche of a life so overall it's done the trick.
Trailer!
Poster!
And some stills...
Main cast members all present and correct, Danny Boyle directing again; it will more than likely be ace!
And it will definitely be in cinemas January 27th 2017.
