The new film is based based on novelist Welsh's follow-up book, Porno, which is being adapted by screenwriter John Hodge for the big screen.
The sequel is set ten years after Trainspotting and sees the characters cross paths again, but with an alternative gritty backdrop of the pornography business, rather than heroin use.
In Porno, Renton owns a nightclub in Amsterdam, Begbie is being released from prison, and Spud is actually trying to kick his drug habit.
Spud also has love woes as his relationship with his partner Alison is strained and he feels like he has become a burden on her.
Creator Welsh is set to appear in the role of Mikey Forrester in the follow-up.
