00:00I'm Parker Finn. I'm the writer, director, and producer of Smile 2.
00:07That's a pretty cool shirt you got. Want me to sign it?
00:11I knew that if I was going to approach a sequel, I needed to find a character that I could find something thematic to explore there.
00:18The trick to unlocking it was discovering the character of Skye Riley.
00:22Ladies and gentlemen, Skye Riley.
00:24Skye is this famous star who is surrounded by people and yet she's incredibly alone.
00:30It's a frightening situation for anybody to be in.
00:36In the Smile movies, the entity is passed from victim to victim by forcing them to end their own life in front of a witness.
00:46And that witness becomes the next victim.
00:49It gets into the cracks of their brain and I really wanted to find new ways to trick both Skye and the audience.
00:55Stop smiling at me!
00:57What I love about Parker is how confident the filmmaking was.
01:00It really does run the gambit of a more internal movie to just being completely unhinged.
01:06The sequel goes bolder. It's way more off the rails.
01:09It's nastier, bloodier, and everything you loved about the first film, we do that ten times bigger.
01:15Skye, pull it together and get back out there.
01:24I keep seeing this face everywhere.
