Parker Finn answers questions during Smile 2 interview
Smile 2, now playing in theaters, hits harder than its predecessor on many levels — and its final moments more than set the stage for yet another sequel from writer-director Finn Parker. While the new film maintains the psychological horror of the first, it offers new heights when it comes to gore and lore.
Screen Rant interviewed Finn about his decision to set Smile 2 in the music industry, a world known to be almost as cut-throat as Smile's evil entity is. The writer-director revealed how he collaborated with star Naomi Scott to create the pop persona of Skye Riley, as well as how far his vision for future Smile movies reaches.
That was really how I landed on the character of Skye Riley, this mega pop star, and this world that felt so far from the world of the first. And also, I think from what we expect from horror in the first place, it just felt so powerful and ripe. It was such a team effort, but it was this really intense undertaking; this crazy challenge to do in the middle of also doing a really intense horror film. It was a lot, but Naomi is so talented and really handled it all so gracefully. She was a dream to work with.
Screen Rant: The ending of Smile 2 really kicks the door open for any number of possible continuations. I know the first was written as a standalone, but for this one, did you have Smile 3 in mind?
