I'm guessing they're British from the 'Choose This' Trainspotting reference; the brief flash of Alan Sugar when they sing 'your boss'; and the licence plate and road markings.

They sound slightly central European but I think that's part of the synth pop parody

They should make a version with chocolate milk, so kids can re-create the scene from Trainspotting!

this is off the trainspotting soundtrack.good tune.

Epic trainspotting, with good video *quality.

I heard that they may be "edging closer" to making Porno into a film with the Trainspotting cast.

I think it's a really strange choice for a film adaptation to be honest. Ecstasy is one of Irvine Welsh's weaker novels; I think Filth or Crime would translate better; or even Glue.
The best of course would be Porno, but that would require the cast from Trainspotting to sign up. Which they should considering what that movie did for their careers.

Award-winning director, Rob Heydon’s film version of Irvine Welsh’s Ecstasy opens this fall.

Starring Adam Sinclair, Kristin Kreuk, Billy Boyd and Carlo Rota, it’s based on Welsh’s novella, “The Undefeated”, taken from his book Ecstasy - Three Tales of Chemical Romance.

It’s 15 years since the film version of Trainspotting kicked in the doors and launched the careers of a young and new generation of talent, and while negotiations continue for its follow-up Porno, it’s hoped Ecstasy will be as good, if not better. Here’s hoping.

Here’s the most recent teaser for the Ecstasy, plus 2 others. For more information check here.

Thats amazing, I too would love to get into that. That music is by Brian Eno? I thought that was in Trainspotting.


Yeah it's called deep blue day. Wonder if they're hard to fly? He seems to be able to pan the camera (and tilt?) independent of the copter..



Share what you find out stormsinger!>> ^Stormsinger:

Wow! This is -so- much better than the RC planes we used to fly. I might have to look into the costs of a setup like this.

Watched Trainspotting too many times and thought he could escape through it?

Inception and Memento are both really good films (I think Inception is a Great film), but largely because they are great ideas, well delivered. His Batman stuff is fine, but it didn't rock my world. Really, it seems pretty formulaic to me.
I think Tarantino's work is so distinctive and ambitious, that he sits above all others. Also, if you go through his films (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, the two Kill Bills (so far, a third has been announced), Grindhouse and then Inglourious Basterds), it's hard to pick a weak spot apart from Grindhouse which was a disaster and an excuse to film the best car chase in modern history. But even that was ambitious if not well executed.
I'm tempted to put Danny Boyle up there, but almost exclusively for Trainspotting which is my favourite film of all time, and Sunshine which I thought was brilliant.
Perhaps Tarantino could be given the nod for best writer/director in the modern era?


Good call on Danny Boyle. I haven't see Sunshine, but 28 Days Later is one of my favourites of all time, Shallow Grave was a great debut and Slumdog Millionaire was beautiful. But yeah, Tarantino, he's inimitable
