In a new interview with IndieWire, Garland talks about working with Boyle and DNA Films cofounder Andrew MacDonald on this new sequel, explaining that he won't be involved past the beginning stages.

"About two years ago, Danny started collaborating on the potential to make Trainspotting 2, another sequel," he said, according to Gamma Squad. "In that conversation, an idea for '28 Months' arrived. I had a sort of weird idea that popped into my head. Partly because of a trip I'd taken. I had this thought, and I suggested it to Andrew and Danny, but I also said I don't want to work on it. I don't really want to play a role, and Andrew said, 'Leave it to me.' So he's gone off and is working on it."

Though he doesn't want to be too involved in this new sequel, he does enjoy the amount of time allotted between chapters in this movie series.

"Don't you think those are, in a way, better? Because there is no momentum now, and you've had an organic, real spark about where I can take this," the writer and director said, according to Slash Film. "And it just popped into your head, kind of thing. Rather than, 'Okay, I'm going to make a sequel.'"
