Director Danny Boyle says he plans to begin shooting the long awaited "Trainspotting" sequel next summer.
	Boyle said the film will then hit cinemas later in 2016, in time for the original film's 20th anniversary, said the Hollywood Reporter.
	While promoting his latest film Steve Jobs in London, Boyle confirmed that the shoot was planned for "May/June", but due to Miller and Carlisle's US TV commitments, it might well be as tight as the first, which was filmed in just seven weeks.
	"They only get this little window off, so either you wait for the contract to run down, which could be as late as three years, or you kind of try and do it in this window," Boyle said.

That's balls. It took 10 years until Bend It Like Beckham came out. So, there was no trend whatsoever," Davis ...
