Filming has begun in Edinburgh for the sequel of the 1990s classic movie Trainspotting. 

Director Danny Boyle and actors Ewan McGregor and Ewen Bremner are pictured filming a new scene for the movie, dubbed Trainspotting 2, which looks very reminiscent of the famous opening from the first outing.

All of the original cast are set to return for the film, which is expected to be loosely based on author Irvine Welsh’s 2002 novel Porno. The book was the follow-up to his 1993 tale of Edinburgh heroin addicts and tells the story of Renton as he returns to the gang to embark on a pornography venture following a stint in Amsterdam.

It's hard to look at the filming shots without hearing Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" playing around your brain – it's like it's 1996 all over again.
