https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainspot ... inspotting 2 is an upcoming British black comedy crime drama film directed by Danny Boyle and written by John Hodge, based on the novel of same name and its characters created by Irvine Welsh. The film stars Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, and Robert Carlyle. Principal photography on the film began on March 10, 2016, in Edinburgh, Scotland.[/quote]Really all you could ask for:
Ewan McGregor as Mark "Rent Boy" Renton
Ewen Bremner as Daniel "Spud" Murphy
Jonny Lee Miller as Simon "Sick Boy" Williamson
Robert Carlyle as Francis "Franco" Begbie
I don't know what to make of this.

Does "based on the novel" mean that we're going to get a film full of Trainspotting scenes and plotlines left out of the original film or that we're going to get a film based on the Trainspotting sequel, Porno? If the latter, why is this called Trainspotting 2?

I have a hard time imagining those 4 characters would all still be alive at this point.

The latter. Basically they don't think they can market a filmed titled "PORNO" to the masses (i.e. Americans) so instead they're copping out with the 2.

Either way, I can't wait to see it. I forget how far in the future Porno takes place. This fact is crucial (for soundtrack purposes of course.)
