Showgirls 2: Penny's from Heaven is a 2011 American erotic drama film written, produced, edited and directed by Rena Riffel. A sequel to Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls (1995), the film stars Riffel, reprising her role as stripper Penny Slot / Helga, alongside Glenn Plummer, Peter Stickles, Greg Travis, Shelley Michelle, Ford Austin, Jade Paris and Andrew Štefánik.[1] The plot follows Penny as she relocates to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a dancer on a hit television show.
An early script and Kickstarter fundraising campaign for the project was titled Showgirl,[2] and the script was originally titled Stardancer. The film was released in theatres at midnight film showings, art house theatres, film festivals, and charity non-profit organizations, and also received worldwide distribution on DVD and VOD.[3]
