Naomi Scott chased by wicked dancers in new film scene

In a recent scene from 'Smile 2,' the character Skye Riley, a pop star portrayed by Naomi Scott, experiences a heightened sense of paranoia while in her apartment at night. This tense moment occurs in the latter half of the film, highlighting her encounter with a group of sinister dancers known as 'smilers' who embody the film’s ominous theme. Notably, the production features choreographic elements directed by Celia Rowlson-Hall, emphasizing a unique blend of dance and horror as Skye is pursued by the dancers. The mirrored hallway designed by production designer Lester Cohen serves to amplify the visual intensity of the scene. By creating an endless reflection of the dancers, the production aimed to enhance the menacing atmosphere surrounding the pop star. With a cast of 14 dancers performing intricate choreography while maintaining the eerie smile associated with the film, the scene showcases an innovative approach to merging performances with narrative tension. Parker Finn, who serves as the writer and director, took particular care in coaching both the dancers and Naomi Scott to ensure their movements conveyed a realistic sense of fear and unpredictability. The scene aims to make it look as if Skye is facing an overwhelming threat, blurring the lines between dance and life-threatening danger. Overall, this approach not only heightens the psychological thrill of 'Smile 2' but also reinforces the film's commitment to a visually captivating narrative experience, capturing audiences with its unique storytelling techniques.
