Ewan McGregor hesitant to continue 'Trainspotting'
"Trainspotting" junkie Mark Renton found some habits were hard to kick, but his real-life counterpart, actor Ewan McGregor, is finding it easier to "just say no."
Ewan McGregor is now "not keen" on reprising the drug addict role of Renton in a "Trainspotting" sequel, reports IMDB.com.
The Scottish actor expressed an interest last year in reprising his breakthrough role in a big-screen adaptation of author Irvine Welsh's follow-up novel "Porno" -- although he stressed a good script would be essential if he were to agree to the film.
Now, McGregor has concluded that he is reluctant to commit to the project, which would also see "Trainspotting" stars Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller and Ewen Bremner return.
"If it wasn't as good, people would remember a poor sequel instead of a great original," he says. "I wouldn't touch it just in case it didn't work out."
Earlier this year, director Danny Boyle said he wants the trio's characters Renton, Begbie and Sick Boy to look "burned out" for the follow-up tale set 10 years after the original tale.
