A pop star finds herself surrounded by a menacing version of her dancers in this scene from “Smile 2.”
Naomi Scott plays Skye Riley, a pop star who has struggled with the personal demons of addiction. But as soon as she gets her life back on track, she becomes possessed by a different kind of demon, one that has her seeing hallucinations and spiraling once again out of control.
In this scene, Skye is in her apartment at night when she begins to see several dancers staring at her, wearing the sinister grin of the film’s title.
Narrating the scene, the film’s director, Parker Finn, said, “These dancers that I got to work with, and my choreographer, Celia Rowlson-Hall, it was this incredible collaboration to create something that felt both like a menacing attack, but also at the same time, dance.”
