Work in industry and saw the script:
>it's a 'zombie' style action film that follows Alfredo who was the only Skye fan not at the concert because he went to gaol for stalking
>later we see him the looney bin under psychiatric evaluation where he is devastated by the news of her death
>he is angry he wasn't there, because he feels he could have done something to save her
>this changes him to a very serious motherfucker who is sick of taking shit
>the other inmates start getting infected by the smile demon and start attacking him, but he manages to stop them
>the city starts going crazy because more and more people are being infected by the smile demon, and in the confusion he escapes the psycho ward
>because he's obsessed with Skye before during and after the events, and actually did break into her apartment in the last film, her memory of certain events erased by the smile demon, he has enough information and clues to figure out what happened
>coupled with his spergery powers he's the only one to eventually realise that the smile demon killed his beloved Skye
>he researches it and finds it source of power
>goes on a journey through a 'smile zombie' infected cityscape
>he takes revenge by fucking with it and almost killing it
>he eventually has to sacrifice his life to save everyone else though, forcing the demon back into one person, himself
>Alfredo was the hero we need

It's actually a really great script that loosely parallels Shakespeare's Henry IV, where Skye's death turns an irresponsible young man living with his parents into a responsible adult overnight. There are even some comic elements with another character in the psycho ward named 'Falstone' where they get up to some antics against the staff, revealing the underlying intellect of Alfredo and that he's not just the hapless incel stalker he seems on the surface.

By the end of the movie he's fully transformed into a Chad action-hero badass, and you see why they chose that actor in Smile 2.
