Just a day after production got underway on “T2: Trainspotting,” Sony has shared the film’s North American release dates.
The sequel to the 1996 original will open in select theaters in the U.S. on Feb. 3, 2017 and expand wide domestically on Feb. 10, 2017.
It opens in the U.K. on Jan. 27, 2017.
Danny Boyle, who also directed the first installment, was spotted on set on Monday with original “Trainspotting” actor Jonny Lee Miller.
The sequel, which will shoot on location in Edinburgh, Scotland, will feature returning cast members Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Robert Carlyle, and Miller.
Just yesterday, the first teaser trailer for “T2” dropped, featuring footage from the first drug-themed film and set to Iggy Pop‘s “Lust for Life” — which played prominently in the original soundtrack. See it here:
The original “Trainspotting” is based on Irvine Welsh‘s book of the same name and went on to be a global sensation, also launching McGregor’s career.
