With simply over six weeks to go earlier than it’s theatrical launch, Smile 2’s gotten a brand new poster, with a brand new trailer set to drop tomorrow.
In the midst of the pandemic, there was an enormous push in the direction of making streaming movies. Paramount Plus was one of many many studios that opted to make motion pictures specifically tailor-made for his or her service, however as soon as the pandemic eased and folks began going again to theatres, some motion pictures which examined notably nicely in early screenings got theatrical releases.
The largest success story to emerge from the streaming-to-theatrical pivot was Smile by director Parker Finn. A low-budget horror flick with an excellent hook, it made an astonishing $217 million worldwide on a $17 million funds. Now, the film’s getting a sequel which expands the central premise, that an individual is cursed by a supernatural entity to commit suicide (after flashing a demonic smile). This time, a pop star within the vein of Taylor Swift (performed by rising star Naomi Scott) is handed the curse, with the primary movie’s Kyle Gallner co-starring.
With the sequel as a result of be launched on October 18th, the studio’s all set to launch an all-new trailer, which drops tomorrow. Till then, to whet your urge for food, Paramount’s put out an all-new poster:
Right here’s the official Smile 2 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.”
For extra from “Skye Riley,” you’ll be able to comply with her on Instagram proper right here. Hopefully, Smile 2 will dwell as much as the unique, which I believed was a fairly nifty little sleeper hit and a complete blast to look at with a raucous horror viewers. With a first-rate launch date simply earlier than Halloween, I count on this one to be a giant hit (though the two-hour-plus operating time appears extreme).
