if you read the book which is more a collection of short stories with the characters is an excellent read - it makes the film look absolute crap in comparison...the books much more graphic and more exciting & the title of the film comes from the fact the the drug users at the time used an old railway station in leith to hit up..
and the follow up book from that is called porno..basically picks up from where trainspotting ends..Sickboy is in London, comes back to Leith, opens a pub, decides he wants to make Adult Films, and proceeds.
Rentboy is in Amsterdam, Begbie in the nick (not for long), Spud still on the scene.
Its a fantastic read, basically just picks up from where Trainspotting leaves off - itd be alot easier to make into a film than trainspotting, cause theres more of a linear story to it - but ewan macgregor aint keen on working with welsh again...so doubt it would ever happen..
