The Slumdog Millionaire director has long been rumoured to be working on taking Porno to the big screen – 13 years after Trainspotting made the cast household names.
Boyle recently insisted he would only start shooting the sequel once the actors started to look older – stating Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner and Jonny Lee Miller were all too well-preserved.
But The Full Monty star Carlyle, who played psychopath Begbie, believes Boyle is “edging closer” to the project after sweeping this year’s (09) Oscars – and has even offered to work on it for free.
He says, “For me personally, I would jump through hoops of fire backwards for Danny Boyle. I would do Porno tomorrow for nothing.
“Begbie was probably the only character I would ever want to revisit because I do believe that there’s an awful lot more mileage there.
“I think there is lots more entertainment to be had from that group of people so I would be up for it, and I know Danny seems to be edging more towards it. After his success at the Oscars, he should be able to pretty much do as he wants.”
