Hey, everyone! If you’re a fan of thrillers and spooky stuff, there’s some big news. Remember ‘Smile,’ the captivating horror flick from Parker Finn in 2022? Well, get ready for rumbles as a sequel is on the way! ‘Smile 2’ is expected to hit cinemas on October 18th and if the viral marketing is anything to go by, we’re in for a unique and hair-raising treat.

You might have noticed some peculiar pop star promotion happening in places like Los Angeles or London or stumbled upon a fan account for Skye Riley on Instagram. You’re probably wondering who the heck is Skye Riley. A pop star skyrocketing to fame? Not really, but here’s the dish!

From what we gather, Skye Riley is most likely a character our own Naomi Scott from ‘Aladdin’ and ‘Charlie’s Angels’ is portraying in ‘Smile 2.’ Hold on; it gets more exciting. Skye Riley (aka Naomi’s character) is set to release the mysterious single ‘Blood on White Satin’ on June 18th. And the buzz is, we might catch the first peek at ‘Smile 2’ with the singles release. Talk about an immersive cinema experience!

Those who were lucky enough to attend CinemaCon in April have already caught wind of this. JoBlo’s Lance Vlcek hints at Naomi Scott slipping into the skin of a pop star for ‘Smile 2.’ In case you missed Lance’s words, he mentioned ‘Smile 2’ as a bigger, slicker version of its predecessor that centers around a pop star artist (Naomi Scott). The story is believed to revolve around the horrifying curse of Smile, and not giving away too much, but expect some eery chase scenes and plenty of creepy smiles indeed!

To add another layer of intrigue, ‘Smile’ was an extension of Finn’s equally spine-chilling short film ‘Laura Hasn’t Slept,’ which bagged the Special Jury Recognition Prize in SXSW’s Midnight Short section. If you recall, Caitlin Stasey was also a part of ‘Laura Hasn’t Slept’ and reprised the character in ‘Smile.’ With billed actors like Lukas Gage, Rosemarie DeWitt, Dylan Gelula, Raúl Castillo, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, and Kyle Gallner joining Naomi Scott, ‘Smile 2’ is undoubtedly amping up the terror and suspense.

Doesn’t this make you all the more curious and excited about ‘Smile 2’ and this mysterious Skye Riley persona? Are your palms sweaty with anticipation and your curiosity piqued? If so, do drop a comment and share your thoughts.

In case you’re new to ‘Smile,’ here’s a quick recap: Doctor Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) witnesses a traumatic incident involving a patient that leads her down a terrifying path. She grapples with haunting encounters and unexplained terrors forcing her to face her past and endure a chilling reality.

For now, all we can do is hunker down, wait, and keep a keen eye out for Skye Riley’s ‘Blood on White Satin’ and that anticipated trailer for ‘Smile 2.’ So, remember folks, stay scared, stay thrilled, and of course, keep smiling!
