News Smile 2 Naomi Scott Tries to Grin and Bear It in Smile 2 Trailer The malevolent grinning force has attached itself to someone a little more famous this time… By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on June 18, 2024 Credit: Paramount Pictures Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Paramount Pictures Stop smiling at me! That’s what Naomi Scott screams at one point in the Smile 2 trailer released today. Her freakout is reasonable! She plays a music star named Skye who witnesses a friend start maniacally smiling as he kills himself by bashing his face in with a dumbbell weight. The film is a sequel to 2022’s Smile, which has a similar premise: some supernatural force makes people smile in decidedly creepy ways and cause harm to themselves and others. In Smile 2, the big shift seems to be that the person who this malevolent grinning force hones in on is Skye, a famous pop star, rather than an unknown doctor. Here’s the synopsis: About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. 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. In addition to Scott, Smile 2 stars Rosemarie DeWitt, Kyle Gallner, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Raúl Castillo, Dylan Gelula, and Ray Nicholson. It is written and directed by Parker Finn, who also brought us the first film. Smile 2 grins its way into theaters on October 18, 2024. Check out the trailer below.
