IT looks like the Trainspotting gang have brushed up their act for the film sequel after Renton and Sick Boy were spotted in suits.

Stars Ewan McGregor and Jonny Lee Miller were spotted filming scenes for the much-awaited Trainspotting 2 yesterday.

Directer Danny Boyle could be seen talking to the pair between takes, as they were filmed walking in and out of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.

A far cry from their look in the first movie, the pair look dapper as they strolled in and out of the building clutching papers and a briefcase.

But it seems they haven’t totally forgotten their roots for the sequel, with Miller still sporting his peroxide blonde hair, and McGregor wearing scruffy trainers with his suit.

The long-awaited sequel to cult smash is due to be released next year, and is understood to be loosely based on writer Irvine Welsh’s own sequel, Porno.
