Award-winning director Danny Boyle's long awaited sequel to Trainspotting will be released in January next year, it has been confirmed.

Ewan McGregor
, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle are all set to reprise the roles they first played two decades ago.

An online trailer with footage from the original movie sets a release date of 27 January 2017.

Trainspotting is based on Irvine Welsh's tale of Edinburgh drug addicts.

The trailer comes as filming of T2 is getting under way, with Bremner spotted in character as Daniel "Spud" Murphy during pre-production in Edinburgh last week.

Carlyle
, who will return to the part of "psycho" Begbie, has said that the script for the new film is "absolutely fantastic" and stronger than the first film.
