Oh joy, Johnny Borrell is turning to acting. Though he'll be murdered in his first film, so there's something to look forward to. Only joking. Though not about the acting. Word has it the Razorlight frontman will appear in a new Irvine Welsh film to be called 'The Meat Trade' and based on the 19th centry story of the 'Westport Murders', though reworked so that it takes place in modern day Edinburgh. Robert Carlyle and Colin Firth will also star. Borrell is quoted thus: "It's going to be so much fun. I love horror and I'm a really big fan of Irvine Welsh's work. I loved 'Trainspotting'".
