British actress and singer Naomi Scott, who played Princess Jasmine in the glossy fantasy Aladdin, has shifted gears dramatically in her upcoming horror film Smile 2.
She plays Skye Riley, a troubled pop singer whose life unravels when she begins to experience terrifying events. The role was emotionally and physically taxing, but she welcomed the challenge.
Director Parker Finn’s Smile 2 picks up where the original psychological horror hit left off. This time, instead of a psychiatrist haunted by malevolent forces, it’s a famous pop icon who feels trapped in a world that seems out to get her—she’s convinced that dark forces are working to end her life.
Known for playing Princess Jasmine in the live-action “Aladdin,” the British Indian actress is stepping into the horror genre in a big way with “Smile 2,” bringing raw intensity and energy to the big screen.

“It was very difficult, it was a difficult movie,” Scott said on the challenges of filming the movie. “But I actually feel blessed because first of all, I had an incredible support network.”
“Smile 2” comes out in the Philippines on Oct. 16 and in the U.S. on Oct. 18.
