Cue up a bid for a T2 movie prop

-

A BROKEN pool cue used as a prop in the Trainspott­ing sequel has sold for £750.

The parts of the cue used to attack Ewan McGregor’s character Renton were one of hundreds of props from T2 Trainspott­ing auctioned for charity yesterday.

Bidding on the item featured in Danny Boyle’s sequel to his own 1996 hit smashed the estimated selling price of £70-£90.

A steel prison toilet from jail scenes featuring Begbie, played by Robert Carlyle, sold for £550, more than seven times the top estimate.

The entire bar from the Port Sunshine, the Leith pub run by Johnny Lee Miller’s character Sick Boy, sold for £1200, while the red sofa from his flat sold for £880.

Proceeds from sale will be split between two charities.
