“I’ve been very lucky, no one has ever come over in a bar and wanted to take a pop at Begbie. Thank God they haven’t, because I’d run a mile.”

Begbie didn’t do drugs, he just did people. That’s what he got off on, his own sensory addiction.

Quote:

IRVINE Welsh has written a new novel based on terrifying Trainspotting hard-man Francis Begbie.
Welsh will release The Blade Artist on April 7. The book follows the life of Begbie who was played by Robert Carlyle in the 1996 cult movie.
The hot-headed character made a brief return in a 2013 Big Issue Christmas short story called ‘He ain’t Lager’ following the loose cannon on his journey to become a reformed man.
But now Welsh has decided to bring back Begbie who is now living as an artist and goes under the name Jim Francis.

The synopsis on the website of publisher Random House reads: “Jim Francis has finally found the perfect life – and is now unrecognisable, even to himself.
“A successful painter and sculptor, he lives quietly with his wife, Melanie, and their two young daughters, in an affluent beach town in California.
“Some say he’s a fake and a con man, while others see him as a genuine visionary.
“But Francis has a very dark past, with another identity and a very different set of values.”
Begbie returns to his roots in Edinburgh where he is reunited with all his past friends.
It goes on: “When he crosses the Atlantic to his native Scotland, for the funeral of a murdered son he barely knew, his old Edinburgh community expects him to take bloody revenge.
“But as he confronts his previous life, all those friends and enemies – and, most alarmingly, his former self – Francis seems to have other ideas.
“When Melanie discovers something gruesome in California, which indicates that her husband’s violent past might also be his psychotic present, things start to go very bad, very quickly.”
Irvine Welsh later re-tweeted the announcement that was shared by The Big Issue before posting the comment: “F**8 me my Twitter has just exploded – See you later!”

I posted this over on the News thread already because I didn't see this thread before.

Trainspotting 2 News! Really it's just confirming that Trainspotting 2 will film in May and June of next year. It won't be called Porno nor will it be based much on the book other than reuniting the characters.

I figured they wouldn't keep that title.

Oh and just FYI that OUAT finishes filming this season in the last week of April and is predicted to start filming next season in the first or second week of July just based on filming start dates of previous seasons. So this shouldn't affect Bobby's work on OUAT.

Danny Boyle says 'Trainspotting 2' will shoot next May and won't be called 'Porno'

There's been talk of a sequel to 'Trainspotting' for ages, and now it's finally happening. Danny Boyle, the director of the original 1996 film, recently told us that he's intending to shoot the film 'in May and June of next year, with all the same actors'. So that means we'll be seeing Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner and Robert Carlyle all back on screen as characters careering towards the ripe age of 50 (or maybe more in the case of Carlyle's Begbie). There's been a question mark over how much the film will be based on Irvine Welsh's own 2002 follow-up novel, 'Porno', and Boyle addressed that too: 'It’s kind of influenced in its origins by “Porno” – the idea of the friends being brought back together again,' he told us, while promoting his new film, 'Steve Jobs'. 'But other than that, it’s very original. It’s written by John Hodge, who adapted the original screenplay from Irvine’s book. Irvine’s involved, but he’s been very gracious – he’s letting us get on with it. He’s there for us for any advice. But it’s not a strict adaptation of “Porno” and it won’t be called “Porno”.’ So there you have it. 'Trainspotting 2' is happening, and if anyone has any good ideas for what it should be called, share them with Danny Boyle if you see him.

Thanks for the news! I'm glad Trainspotting2 filming won't affect OUAT

Interestng though that they won't follow the book (although they said there was a problem to adapt the book to 2015 as porno things get through differently than from 2002)
