But the film they created, they’re eager for audiences to watch.
“On the surface, it’s a hell of a thriller,“Tyler Lepley says.
“It’s a slow-burning thriller.

There are lots of twists and turns.
It’s so juicy, and so much fun.
And it’s also satisfying by the time you get to the end.”

Especially in the land of Tyler Perry,” Lee says.
I knew it was going to be a fun ride.”
Collaborating with a mogul like Mr. Perry is part of what excited Lepley about the project.
“For me, I think you just hit the nail on the head with that word.
Sometimes you’ll have a creator or writer, or director, and they can be a one-track mind.
[You’ve] got to be professional about it.
That’s where you capture the magic.
The lighting in the bottle.”
