Mumbai: To mark the 20th anniversary of his film Trainspotting which he made in 1996, filmmaker Danny Boyle has evinced hope of releasing the sequel titled Porno in 2016.

Trainspotting was based on a novel by Irvine Welsh and the Slumdog Millionaire director‘s new film would loosely adapt his follow-up novel Porno, it is understood.

"This has been a long time coming. The ideal time would be Porno in 2016 because it was 1996 when Trainspotting came out. 20 years... It‘s like, wow, where did that go?" Boyle said.

The director said he is still waiting for the right script from his long-time collaborator John Hodge, who wrote several of Boyle‘s biggest films including Trainspotting and the upcoming heist thriller Trance.
