  10. 0:19it, but now I realize I hadn't cuz it
  11. 0:21says that. Shaming Scottish. That is an
  12. 0:24image that's really ripe for corruption.

  29. 0:51the toilet sequence in Trainspotting.
  30. 0:53>> Yeah. Some of my kids are older now, so
  31. 0:54they've seen Trainspotting, but my
  32. 0:55younger ones hadn't and
  33. 0:57showing that I said, "You've got to just

  82. 2:13>> We've got the last one. This is you 20
  83. 2:15years ago. And is it you guys don't

  87. 2:19>> I remember. Not really.
  88. 2:22Not really at all.
  89. 2:23I really remember it.
  90. 2:24I don't remember. But and you all look
  91. 2:26so happy and lovely. And you standing
  92. 2:27across and then you get to Robert
  93. 2:29Carlyle.
  94. 2:30Did no one give you THE DRESS CODE?
  95. 2:31>> [laughter]
  96. 2:34>> WAS IT COME AS YOU ARE?
  97. 2:36SEE, I do remember it because uh I'd
  98. 2:38been be filming in Nicaragua, fact your
  99. 2:40fact. And of course, there was no
  100. 2:43This is days before really internet. So,
  101. 2:45we had no idea that any of the kind of
  102. 2:47the build-up to the first film was
  103. 2:48happening. So, uh I came across that the
  104. 2:51very night of the premiere. I landed at
  105. 2:53Heathrow.
  106. 2:54And I seen his face in all these
  107. 2:56magazines.
  108. 2:57This is something's happening here. This
  109. 2:59is
  110. 3:00This is bizarre. I'll get MY SHEEPSKIN
  111. 3:02JACKET.
  112. 3:02>> [laughter]
  113. 3:05>> THIS IS A SPECIAL NIGHT.
  114. 3:08BUT THAT'S WHAT I WAS wearing when I
  115. 3:09come off the plane.
  116. 3:10>> [laughter]
  117. 3:11>> That's what it said. Oh, it's all
  118. 3:12changed now. All changed now. And now,
  119. 3:16the person I I must introduce say hello
  120. 3:17to is Ewen cuz Spud was such a kind of
  121. 3:20strong visual look that they Like
  122. 3:23>> [laughter]
  123. 3:23>> so, people even now it's used as kind of
  124. 3:26reference. Do you know, are you aware of
  125. 3:28what happened in Utah? Do you know this?
  126. 3:30Oh, I Your researcher told me about
  127. 3:32this. I I It does ring a bell, yes. That
  128. 3:34So, basically, someone in Utah, this was
  129. 3:37only a couple years ago, committed a
  130. 3:38crime, okay? And they they didn't have a
  131. 3:41photograph of the criminal they were
  132. 3:43looking for. So, this is the genuine
  133. 3:46wanted poster.
  134. 3:47>> Oh.
  135. 3:49>> [laughter]
  136. 3:55[laughter]
  137. 3:55>> It's something LIKE THAT.
  138. 3:59HE PROBABLY looks like this.
  139. 4:02And did he have a catch up with him? I
  140. 4:03don't Don't go to Utah would be my
  141. 4:05advice.
  142. 4:06>> [laughter]
  143. 4:12[applause]
  144. 4:13>> Oh, dear. What are we going to do cuz
  145. 4:15you kind of think that Trainspotting
  146. 4:16wasn't that long ago?
  147. 4:17>> Yeah. And then what do you Do you all
  148. 4:19look like children in the flashbacks? I
  149. 4:22mean, how much
  150. 4:23How much did you want this to stand
  151. 4:25alone? And how much did you Cuz it's a
  152. 4:28delicate balance of how self-referential
  153. 4:30it would be. Yeah, you can't just repeat
  154. 4:32it. And in fact, if you're going to do
  155. 4:33that, you do it straight away, which is
  156. 4:34the tradition with a sequel. So, you've
  157. 4:36got to let the 20 years that has passed
  158. 4:38stand for the main element of the film
  159. 4:41really and the and the and the catch up.
  160. 4:43And I and I think it it it it does this
  161. 4:45weird thing. I mean, you know this as
  162. 4:47well. If you look back at you beginning
  163. 4:49this show compared to what you look like
  164. 4:51now.
  165. 4:51>> All right, I'm a lot older, thank you.
  166. 4:54>> [laughter]
  167. 4:54>> But television has that effect.
  168. 4:57That's all right. He's a guest.
  169. 5:01Television [laughter] has that amazing
  170. 5:02film, television. It freezes you in
  171. 5:04time. And people have an image, I
  172. 5:05remember Graham on his first show. And
  173. 5:07they have that image in their mind and
  174. 5:08then they meet you in the street or they
  175. 5:10Yes.
  176. 5:11And they're like, "No, I don't want him
  177. 5:12to look like that." AND HE
  178. 5:16AND WE DO WE SO, did I just do this
  179. 5:18>> [laughter]
  180. 5:19>> all right?
  181. 5:21YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU KNOW WHAT I
  182. 5:22MEAN? I MEAN
  183. 5:24WELL, I'VE MELTED. I'VE MELTED, DANNY.
  184. 5:27IT WENT IN A HOLE.
  185. 5:28>> [laughter]
  186. 5:30>> But you know what I mean? And then and
  187. 5:31then SUDDENLY
  188. 5:33YES, WE'VE ESTABLISHED I UNDERSTAND I'M
  189. 5:36MUCH OLDER. [laughter]
  190. 5:37And and then you and then you and then
  191. 5:39you unfreeze them in time and you bring
  192. 5:40them next door to each other like this
  193. 5:42and people can see them. And you do see
  194. 5:43these occasional glimpses of them like
  195. 5:45in the original film. And it's very
  196. 5:47moving and it returns these guys to the
  197. 5:49common pool cuz it's something we all
  198. 5:51face. Yeah. Whether we're aware of it or
  199. 5:53not, yeah, it's in the post for
  200. 5:55everyone, this aging thing.
  201. 5:56>> And also the bonds of shared history.
  202. 5:58We're talking I mean, I was talking to
  203. 5:59you backstage, that idea that those
  204. 6:00bonds of shared history as you get older
  205. 6:02take on an importance they never had.
  206. 6:04Absolutely. And I was saying to you all
  207. 6:06backstage, I loved it. I loved it. All
  208. 6:08those things you kind of worried about,
  209. 6:09have you left it too long and
  210. 6:11everything. But actually the point is
  211. 6:13that it's 20 years later, isn't it? It's
  212. 6:15kind of like a special effect, isn't it?
  213. 6:16Age. It's almost like
  214. 6:19our our big
  215. 6:20>> [laughter]
  216. 6:21>> big money special effect.
  217. 6:23>> Yes, no, cuz it's cuz it's like watching
  218. 6:24children act where children what a
  219. 6:25convincing 6-year-old. But you all look
  220. 6:2720 years older, it's excellent.
  221. 6:32It's amazing.
  222. 6:33>> [laughter]
  223. 6:34>> Put a lot of work into it.
  224. 6:36You know.
  225. 6:37>> Really worked on
  226. 6:37>> Really hard, yeah. So at the end of the
  227. 6:39first film, Renton, obviously you walked
  228. 6:41off with all the money, 16 grand. So at
  229. 6:4320 years later, where are we now?
  230. 6:45Where's Spud as the movie begins? Spud
  231. 6:47is really not in a good place. He's been
  232. 6:49trying his best, struggling through the
  233. 6:50last 20 years to
  234. 6:52uh be a better man, the man that his
  235. 6:55wife and child need him to be.
  236. 6:58And it's devastating for him that he is
  237. 7:01crippled with his
  238. 7:03uh addictions and is unable to
  239. 7:06uh break free of them. And good for you,
  240. 7:09but it is kind of amazing he's still
  241. 7:10alive. It is it is amazing, but I mean
  242. 7:13there's there's there's plenty people
  243. 7:14you could say that about, you know, let
  244. 7:16rock and roll is littered with those
  245. 7:17cats that are still
  246. 7:19remarkably uh
  247. 7:21>> [laughter]
  248. 7:21>> sprightly, you know, in their in their
  249. 7:2360s and 70s right now. So you know, I
  250. 7:25think there's there's there's life in
  251. 7:26the old Spud yet.
  252. 7:29And uh Begbie, what's happened to
  253. 7:31Begbie?
  254. 7:32Begbie's exactly where you expect him to
  255. 7:33be. He's in the nick.
  256. 7:35>> [laughter]
  257. 7:36>> He's been there for the last 20 years
  258. 7:38festering,
  259. 7:39thinking about this guy,
  260. 7:41>> [laughter]
  261. 7:41>> the day he can meet him and kill him.
  262. 7:45And uh it's most the beginning Sick Boy
  263. 7:47is the most kind of surprising what's
  264. 7:48happened to him in the 20 years.
  265. 7:50Yeah, I mean I I I
  266. 7:52I'm I was I kind of like was not that
  267. 7:53surprised that he's he's sort of stuck
  268. 7:55in Iraq cuz what That's one thing I
  269. 7:57really loved about about where he is in
  270. 7:59in the in the new film is that he's uh
  271. 8:01his powers have waned cuz people used to
  272. 8:03think Sick Boy was such a cool character
  273. 8:04and I I thought it was interesting to
  274. 8:06look at him and and the fact that he's
  275. 8:08stuck in the same circles of behavior
  276. 8:11and he's sort of struggling in life and
  277. 8:12he thinks he's winning and he's still a
  278. 8:14chancer, but he's really um making bad
  279. 8:17decisions and and that's led to a lot of
  280. 8:19frustration and bitterness. So, there
  281. 8:20are some no parallels with my own life
  282. 8:23at all.
  283. 8:25Beautiful.
  284. 8:26>> [laughter]
  285. 8:27>> Were you worried about the movie going
  286. 8:29back and doing a Scottish accent again?
  287. 8:31Uh yes. I mean not worried, but I
  288. 8:34approached it differently. I I kept up
  289. 8:35the accent the whole time filming the
  290. 8:37first one cuz you know, no one knew who
  291. 8:39we were. I could go to a pub in Glasgow
  292. 8:41and just wing it. And if you can if you
  293. 8:43can get away with it in a pub in
  294. 8:44Glasgow, you can get away with it
  295. 8:45anywhere, right? Uh and THIS TIME
  296. 8:47>> [laughter]
  297. 8:55[laughter]
  298. 8:57>> UM YEAH, SO I WORKED WITH A DIALECT
  299. 8:59COACH THIS TIME around cuz I cuz I cuz
  300. 9:01you DON'T DRINK ANYMORE.
  301. 9:03>> [laughter]
  302. 9:09[laughter]
  303. 9:10>> AND YEAH, I TRIED TO summon my
  304. 9:14>> [laughter]
  305. 9:15>> I tried to summon Sick Boy's ACCENT
  306. 9:17MORE.
  307. 9:19>> [laughter]
  308. 9:20>> YOU KNOW, YOU TALK ABOUT THE THE TIME
  309. 9:21BEING RIGHT NOW, but one I suppose one
  310. 9:23of the things about coming back
  311. 9:23[clears throat] was that one of the
  312. 9:24problems about all of it was that you
  313. 9:26guys for how many years did you not talk
  314. 9:28for? Yeah, quite a bit.
  315. 9:30>> time, yeah. Yeah, sadly, yeah. No, and I
  316. 9:32don't mean to trivialize cuz it sound
  317. 9:33it's an awful thing. You know, you
  318. 9:36really liked each other, you loved
  319. 9:37working together, and then and then it
  320. 9:39it and what was it was it one bust-up or
  321. 9:41was it a dribbling apart? Well, it was
  322. 9:43just a it was just over a film that um
  323. 9:46it was a misunderstanding and a
  324. 9:47mishandling of
  325. 9:49it was a it was just over a film that I
  326. 9:51thought
  327. 9:51>> This is This is The Beach.
  328. 9:52>> Yeah. Yeah. And it did it's it's a big
  329. 9:55regret of mine that it went on for so
  330. 9:56very long. It's a shame we didn't work
  331. 9:58together all those years cuz not because
  332. 9:59of any particular film.
  333. 10:01And it didn't really matter about The
  334. 10:03Beach. It was never about The Beach. It
  335. 10:04was about our friendship and the and how
  336. 10:06much um I'd I felt like Danny's I was in
  337. 10:09through the first three movies, you
  338. 10:11know, Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, and
  339. 10:12then A Life Less Ordinary. And then I
  340. 10:14wasn't in the fourth and I was a bit
  341. 10:16made me a bit rudderless. I didn't quite
  342. 10:18get it and then
  343. 10:20yeah, we didn't we didn't speak for a
  344. 10:21long time, which was such a waste. Cuz
  345. 10:24it was at The Beach it it began with a a
  346. 10:26lunch was is the lunch when it's when
  347. 10:28you told him he wasn't going to be in
  348. 10:29The Beach? Yeah, and I think we
  349. 10:31I handled it very very badly and I I've
  350. 10:34apologized to you and then
  351. 10:36I kind of feel a shame about it that's
  352. 10:37very difficult to you know, it's one of
  353. 10:40the things weirdly that the film's about
  354. 10:41is about trying to express emotions and
  355. 10:44I felt a great shame about it really. I
  356. 10:45was not proud of the way I handled it
  357. 10:48and he actually handled it with enormous
  358. 10:51grace cuz you know, you you you you see
  359. 10:54these actors and they do big things and
  360. 10:56you hear these stories about them and he
  361. 10:58handles all his world with enormous
  362. 10:59grace and and and courage actually,
  363. 11:02which is the definition of grace. They
  364. 11:04say courage is grace under pressure,
  365. 11:06which he showed enormously. So um and
  366. 11:09and we had this thing we we had this
  367. 11:10film this Slumdog Millionaire, which was
  368. 11:12doing amazing, picking up all these
  369. 11:14amazing things and and somebody asked
  370. 11:16him he didn't tell me somebody asked him
  371. 11:18whether he'd present this kind of
  372. 11:19promotional award to me on on which is
  373. 11:22one of the things you do on the route to
  374. 11:23the Oscars and stuff like that. And he
  375. 11:25did and he stood up on stage and he made
  376. 11:27this amazing speech.
  377. 11:29And I was like in tears backstage. It
  378. 11:30was like, "Oh, god." So, yeah.
  379. 11:33Um I'm very grateful to him. And when
  380. 11:36this happens in my life, if friends of
  381. 11:38mine if this happens, I always really
  382. 11:40unsuccessfully try to interfere and
  383. 11:42broker a peace. Did any of you try to
  384. 11:45get involved or did you just go, "Whoa,
  385. 11:47I'm leaving that alone."
  386. 11:49We had our own feuds going on.
  387. 11:51>> [laughter]
  388. 11:53>> No one's spoken to you in 15 years.
  389. 11:56Yeah. I was really upset about it, so
  390. 11:58upset I actually did the BEACH WE DID.
  391. 12:00>> [laughter]
  392. 12:03[applause]
  393. 12:07>> HASHTAG TEAM DANNY.
  394. 12:09>> [laughter]
  395. 12:10>> DANNY, you've made huge films, 28 Days
  396. 12:13Later, 127 Hours, Trainspotting, all
  397. 12:16these things. You've made films that And
  398. 12:17less successful. And I
  399. 12:20Which one?
  400. 12:21>> [laughter]
  401. 12:22>> I can't name them.
  402. 12:23Looking great.
  403. 12:26It's gloves off now.
  404. 12:28>> [laughter]
  405. 12:28>> So,
  406. 12:29but I just wondered as a director, what
  407. 12:31is the
  408. 12:32maybe you never know or is there a bit
  409. 12:34in the process? Is it in the edit? Is is
  410. 12:36there a moment when you kind of go,
  411. 12:38"Hmm." Yeah. You
  412. 12:41You should really you should believe in
  413. 12:42them all the time, but I think you I
  414. 12:44think deep down you do know. Um what's
  415. 12:46what's much more difficult to know is
  416. 12:47when you know something's going to be a
  417. 12:48hit. No one knows that. It's like what
  418. 12:51Bobby said, you just don't know.
  419. 12:52Otherwise there'd only ever be hit
  420. 12:53films. Why would they release ones that
  421. 12:55won't wouldn't be a hit?
  422. 12:56>> That's a very good point.
  423. 12:57>> [laughter]
  424. 12:58>> And also no one tries to make a bad
  425. 12:59film. No, no, you do Well, I don't know
  426. 13:01actually, sometimes.
  427. 13:02>> [laughter]
  428. 13:03>> But no, you you try not to do that,
  429. 13:05yeah. Begbie. Begbie, we must talk about
  430. 13:07Begbie because for you that must have
  431. 13:09been like everyone presumably after that
  432. 13:11film was just scared of you.
  433. 13:14Yes.
  434. 13:16They still are. [laughter]
  435. 13:18No, I was I've played quite a few, but
  436. 13:20it was great because it gave me an awful
  437. 13:21lot of other kind of, you know, Begbie
  438. 13:23type parts to play. So, it gave me a
  439. 13:24kind of career's worth of that, but um
  440. 13:26anybody that knows me knows I'm
  441. 13:27absolutely nothing like that.
  442. 13:30>> [laughter]
  443. 13:31>> But you were just
  444. 13:32honestly
  445. 13:33No, BUT I LIKED I LIKED THAT ON EITHER
  446. 13:35SIDE OF TRAINSPOTTING, YOU were being
  447. 13:37the nicest policeman in the world. You
  448. 13:38were being Hamish Macbeth with your
  449. 13:40lovely little Westie terrier.
  450. 13:42Oh, good cheers, mate.
  451. 13:44>> [applause]
  452. 13:46>> No, it was lovely, but it was a
  453. 13:47fantastic part to play. These kind of
  454. 13:49parts, these psychopaths, these are the
  455. 13:51These mean you can lose yourself. You
  456. 13:52know, I mean you can
  457. 13:53your imagination runs riot, and
  458. 13:55something like Begbie is just an
  459. 13:56absolute pleasure to play. But even your
  460. 13:58son is aware of Begbie.
  461. 14:00Yes, he is.
  462. 14:01>> [laughter]
  463. 14:02>> But how old is your son? He's 10.
  464. 14:05They're 10 and 12. I've got two sons, 10
  465. 14:06and 12. My daughter's 14. Has he seen
  466. 14:08the film? No, he's not, but he's he's
  467. 14:10he's aware of Begbie, and he was
  468. 14:12certainly aware when I was shooting the
  469. 14:13film
  470. 14:14last spring time there, cuz I didn't
  471. 14:16stay at home
  472. 14:18when I was playing the part, because
  473. 14:20you kind of you've got a lot of stuff in
  474. 14:22your head when you're playing a part
  475. 14:23like that, and you don't necessarily you
  476. 14:25don't want to kind of let it go every
  477. 14:27day when you go home, because you need
  478. 14:28to dredge it back up the next day.
  479. 14:30So, it's best to kind of stay away for
  480. 14:32the for the family generally speaking,
  481. 14:33because you don't want any of that
  482. 14:34chance any of that kind of slipping out
  483. 14:36at all. But he was very aware that I was
  484. 14:38playing Begbie.
  485. 14:40And uh he
  486. 14:41he dressed up accordingly when I went
  487. 14:43home one night. I think we've got a
  488. 14:45little picture of him. What?
  489. 14:47>> [laughter]
  490. 14:52>> He was brilliant. He disappeared
  491. 14:53upstairs. He saw me coming and he
  492. 14:54disappeared upstairs and he come back
  493. 14:55down with the mustache coming.
  494. 14:56>> [laughter]
  495. 15:00[applause]
  496. 15:02>> Uh there's one thing we haven't talked
  497. 15:03about We haven't talked about tonight,
  498. 15:04and that is that iconic poster, the 1996
  499. 15:07publicity campaign. And because again,
  500. 15:10it it broke the mold. That isn't what a
  501. 15:12film poster looked like. Is it Is it
  502. 15:15true that this was the day after Was it
  503. 15:17the wrap party?
  504. 15:19I You're asking us like we would
  505. 15:21remember.
  506. 15:22>> [laughter]
  507. 15:23>> The story the legend is that you weren't
  508. 15:25feeling the best for this.
  509. 15:27I think that's right. I think me I
  510. 15:29remember traveling in a taxi with you at
  511. 15:31like 5:00 a.m. in the morning to go to
  512. 15:33Glasgow Airport
  513. 15:35after the wrap party so that we could go
  514. 15:37down and do this shoot
  515. 15:39in London.
  516. 15:39>> Is that when I blinded you with my
  517. 15:41Cockney accent?
  518. 15:42>> Yeah, and then he started I don't really
  519. 15:43know him Johnny for the entire shoot as
  520. 15:45a as a Scotsman and then and then in the
  521. 15:47taxi after the wrap party he started
  522. 15:49talking to me in his own accent and I
  523. 15:51was really disorientated and
  524. 15:57>> [laughter]
  525. 15:59>> That was just as a magic trick. I
  526. 16:00noticed
  527. 16:01I see Kelly obviously not here, Diane
  528. 16:04not here. So I thought just as a treat
