Previous song lyrics…
In these first images, we find Naomi Scott playing pop star Skye Riley. The latter is about to take the stage in front of a delirious audience… If the singer was cursed with a devilish smile, he could infect thousands of people with his smile.
And the lyrics of the song heard in the teaser (visible at the top of the article) already predict disaster: “There may be a tragedy, a disaster in front of me. Am I a future disaster like blood on white satin?
The sea divides my path. He’s holding a glass in his hand, it might break me. Something so physical. Disaster awaits, like blood on white satin.”

Paramount, which produced and distributed the film, has already created a Account of fictional singer X and shares photos and videos of the pop star. We can also see the photo on which Naomi Scott Shows a famous smile…
The promotion of this movie, which has been announced to hit our theaters on 16th October 2024, is therefore already underway. For reference, the first part has already attracted a lot of attention thanks to an extraordinary advertising campaign.
During a baseball game in the United States, the actors lined up in front of the cameras stood up and looked at the cameras with wide, creepy smiles. These images quickly created a buzz and probably contributed to the film’s success.
