Smile 2 movie storyline. Naomi Scott, whom we know from films such as “Aladdin” and “Charlie’s Angels”, appears once again in the leading role of “Smile 2”, the sequel to Paramount Pictures’ hit horror movie “Smile”.
The original film, which became a hit in 2022, revolved around a psychiatrist who becomes increasingly convinced that he is threatened by a mysterious entity after witnessing a strange, traumatic event involving a patient.
Paramount had originally planned to release the film directly on the Paramount+ platform rather than releasing it in theaters. However, after successful test screenings, accompanied by a successful viral marketing campaign, the film was released and became a surprise success.
A film shot on a budget of $17 million resulted in a worldwide gross of $217 million, becoming both a highly profitable venture for the studio and one of the biggest success stories of the 2022 release. Work on the sequel began quickly.
Parker Finn, who wrote and directed the first film, will serve as both screenwriter and director in the sequel. Plot details of “Smile 2” are being kept under wraps, but following the success of the first film, the casting process is much more intense and remarkable. The film is planned to be released on October 18, 2024.
