After Parker Finn’s Smile became a surprise horror hit a couple years ago, people started talking sequel. For his part, Finn had to be sold on the idea, because the last thing he wanted was to make a film that was simply a carbon copy or a retread of the first. So Finn, who wrote and directed both movies, said he didn’t really commit to a second film until he felt like he had a story that could stand on its own.
Smile 2 is now playing in theaters.
