- The re-release features a brand-new 4K restoration promoted as a must-see on the big screen with the trailer’s “choose cinema” message.
- The film adapts Irvine Welsh’s novel and was directed by Danny Boyle, with Ewan McGregor leading the cast as Mark Renton in Edinburgh.
- Trainspotting premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996 before opening in the UK in February and reaching U.S. theaters in July.
