Although... If they're calling it T2 they should go the whole hog and call it "T2: Giro Day" that's what I'll be calling it at least

I like it myself.

It's impossible, but I will do it--The Walk.

Agreed, is it supposed to be an intentional reference to Terminator 2?

[–] theunopeneddoor-697-442391 8 years ago

Duh.

It's impossible, but I will do it--The Walk.

[–] loserkids55 8 years ago

Why 'Duh?' What's the connection between Terminator and Trainspotting?

[–] sweiland75 8 years ago

There is no connection.

It's called "irony." It's supposed to be "funny.."

I'm pretty sure they'll change it to its original title "Porno".

[–] Anrkey 8 years ago

Not if they hope to release it in theaters.

[–] Johnny_Wrong 8 years ago

Plus the plot bears only slight similarity to that of Porno.

[–] BulmaPunkRocker 8 years ago

I think that the original novel's title, "Porno", wouldn't help much to attract new audiences.

Danny Boyle pretty much said the same thing in an interview a few months ago.

[–] drgoodword 8 years ago

Such an uninspired title bodes poorly for the film.

The original title, borrowed from the book, was as brilliant as the movie. Simple, quietly evocative, yet complex and organically linked to the entirety of the film.

Surely Boyle and Hodge could do better. Even something as pedestrian as "Train Tracks" would be an improvement (ymmv).

Would've been better off using " Porno " .... But I get that movies work a bit differently than books and ya gotta attract audiences and all that *beep*

It's a homage to Terminator 2, ya mamaluke.

[–] krypton_son 8 years ago

No, it's really not.

Wrong. You're an idiot.

[–] krypton_son 8 years ago

Funny, he's stated that it isn't. But I guess stating the truth makes me an idiot.
