Nearly 20 years later, Danny Boyle's 1996 film "Trainspotting" remains largely considered a cult classic, with more than a few fans still waiting for a sequel. And recently, the director revealed in an interview with Deadline that the long overdue project may finally be realized soon.

"All the four main actors want to come back and do it," Boyle told Deadline's Pete Hammond, who had a chance to talk with the director following the "work-in-progress" screening of "Steve Jobs."

"Now it is only a matter of getting all their schedules together, which is complicated by two of them doing American TV series."

Boyle also disclosed that John Hodge's script for the sequel (he also wrote the original based on the Irvine Welsh novel) is terrific, and is based on Welsh's "Porno," which was the author's sequel to his original "Trainspotting" novel. The director added that he intends for "Trainspotting 2" to be his next film depending on the actors' US TV schedules. As noted by Deadline, Hodge has also written screenplays for Boyle films "A Life Less Ordinary," "The Beach," and "Trance."

The "Trainspotting" actors working on US TV shows are Jonny Lee Miller and Robert Carlyle. Miller plays Sherlock Holmes in CBS' "Elementary," while Carlyle is on ABC's "Once Upon A Time." Carlyle said back in July that a "Trainspotting" sequel is "closer than it's ever been," as noted by Deadline. "Trainspotting" lead star Ewan McGregor said back in June that he was up for a sequel.

Boyle and McGregor infamously had a spat stemming from the director's casting choices for 2000's "The Beach," which was said to supposedly star McGregor. Complex notes that the falling out has since been resolved, in part, due to Boyle's 2013 admission that "he didn't treat McGregor very well."

The 1996 Miramax release is about the grim, albeit entertaining misadventures of drug addicts in Scotland.
