The trailer for the long-awaited film adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy: Three Tales of a Chemical Romance is the long awaited follow up to Train Spotting, but lets be honest, there is only ONE Train Spotting.

Obviously, it’s different story and a different set of protagonists than Trainspotting, but this Rob Heydon-directed bit lacks all that hard grit of Danny Boyle’s film and only rubs that it in with a quick flash of a fish-eyed lens in a “high” shot. There could be a lot of things that make this film less compelling, but I think the 80s drug grit of Spotting is something that cant be matched. I do like the idea of hitting on some mid 90s hard rocking techno joints. Brings me back to high school and what the club scene once was and how you will only know if you experienced it that clubs and techno was once a world of its own, and not the Jersey Shore.
