In this episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, a British sensation and the reunion of the Top Gun team.
Trainspotting came together quickly, as director Danny Boyle and his team built on the success of 1995’s Shallow Grave. Small problem? Even as the script was being written, the rights to the source book hadn’t been secured.
