Paramount Pictures has released a new trailer for Smile 2, featuring Naomi Scott. The cast also includes Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner and Lukas Gage, and is written and directed by franchise creator Parker Finn.
Smile 2 is a sequel to the 2022 horror film Smile, with the franchise revolving around a supernatural entity that appears as smiling people, leading the person who sees it to shortly commit suicide. The new film follows Skye Riley (Scott), a global pop star about to embark on a world tour when she begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. An official synopsis reads: “overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.”
After Skye Riley sees her friend (Gage) take his life in front of her, the trailer depicts her slowly being driven mad as more smiling faces and disturbing events unfold. However, a researcher of the curse reaches out to help her, cryptically saying she needs to die in order for the curse to be broken.
Scott released a song for the film, “Blood on White Satin,” back in June. You can take a listen: HERE.
