Writer and director Parker Finn joins Popcorn Podcast while in Australia for SXSW Sydney to chat much-anticipated horror follow-up Smile 2. In the sequel, Global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is about to embark on a new world tour when she begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, she must confront her dark past before her life spirals out of control. Finn is one of the most innovative and striking new voices in the horror space and has a big filmmaking future ahead of him. In our chat, Finn unravels his manic writing process; reminisces on Naomi Scott’s impressive ability to chug; and shares what Smile 2 says about celebrity consumption – all while nerding out over his opening one-take shot.
