“Right and wrong are these concepts that we feel we understand so well, yet they can be eerily fluid ideas,” said director and writerDerek Presley.“That theme is at the center of this story, whereRed Stoneexplores the idea that ‘good people’ can do bad things just as easily as ‘bad people’ can do good things. Boon’s character becomes a conduit for any of us, who at one point or another, have said this is not the path we want to follow.” A sequel to the film is already in the works, focusing on McDonough’s character Boon. The actor is set to star, produce, and co-write the script.
