• It was stated that the film is a rather loose adaptation of Irvine Welsh's novel "Porno" (2002).
• Ewan McGregor's appearance in the cast of the sequel to "Trainspotting" (1995) will mark his first collaboration with Danny Boyle since the fantastic comedic melodrama "A Life Less Ordinary," which was released in 1997. The actor and director fell out when the latter cast Leonardo DiCaprio instead of McGregor in the leading role of the dramatic thriller "The Beach" (2000). Furthermore, this will be the second time in McGregor’s acting career that he reprises a role. The first instance was his portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequels to the original "Star Wars" trilogy.
• The working title of the film during shooting was "Porno".
• The film is Danny Boyle's first sequel as a director and second as a producer (in 2007 he produced "28 Weeks Later" – a continuation of his film "28 Days Later" (2002)). He was considered for the director's chair for the fourth installment of the Alien franchise (which eventually became "Alien Resurrection" (1997)), but Boyle turned down the project due to creative differences with the studio and instead filmed "A Life Less Ordinary" (1997).
• In January 2009, Danny Boyle announced his desire to make a sequel to his film "Trainspotting." The plot was to unfold nine years after the events in the original.
• In an interview in May 2014, the author of the novels "Trainspotting" and "Porno," Irvine Welsh, stated that "we [he and the creative team working on the sequel] do not want to tarnish the legacy of the original film, but want to create something fresh and modern."
• In an interview in November 2014, Irvine Welsh revealed that McGregor and Boyle had resolved their differences and begun meeting to discuss filming the sequel.
• Filming of the movie began on March 10, 2016, in Edinburgh (Scotland). Filming was originally scheduled for May 2016.
• In January 2009, Danny Boyle announced his desire to make a sequel to his film "Trainspotting." The plot was to unfold nine years after the events of the original.
