Smile 2 director Par꧃ker Finn sa꧅ys that even though the first movie "uncovered" the curse – we ain't seen nothin' yet.

"There was information I had for myself that wasn’t expressed in the first film that I took the opportunity to bring into the new one, so what Smile 2 is doing is showing us new things," Finn tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Terrifier 3 on the cover and hits newsstands on October 2. "We felt like we’d uncovered the mystery in the first one, but we’ve maybꦯe only scooped a single glass of water out of the ocean."

The sequel to the surprise horror blockbuster stars Naomi Scott (Aladdin, Charlie's Angels) as a pop star who becomes afflicted with the curse as she embarks on a world tour. The cast includes Ros𒊎emarie DeWitt, Lukas Gage, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Peter Jacobson, Dylan Gelula, Ray Nicholson, and Kyle Gallner in a reprisal of his role from the first film.

"There are some ideas that I think are very exciting. I think it’s really fun to imagine a lineage of Smile movies where each one becomes more off the rails than the previous one," Finn a✃dds, lightly teasing the concept of a full-out Smile horror franchise – which wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility given that the films have a similar campiness as franchises like A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. "What’s really interesting about Smile is that you can find yourself in different stories🌺, different characters, different worlds."

Smile hit theaters in 2022 and earned over $217 million against a budget of $17 million, and received largely positive reviews. Sosie Bacon starred as a therapist who witnessed the bizarre suicide of a patient, only to realize it's the work of something more sinister and supernatural. You might rememb𒐪er that Gallner's Joel is the only person Bacon's Rose can talk to about the curse – and that he has it, too. Whether he becomes a saving grace or an added terror for Scott's Skye Riley remains to be seen.
