What to Expect From They Cloned Tyrone
Taylor's screenplay for They Cloned Tyrone gained recognition on The Black List, a prestigious annual collection of unproduced scripts voted upon by the industry's top studio and management executives. The film was initially announced in 2019 with Brian Tyree Henry set to star as Fontaine. However, after negotiations fell through, John Boyega was cast to replace him a year later. Originally scheduled for release in December 2022, They Cloned Tyrone will now make its debut on Netflix on July 21.
In They Cloned Tyrone, Boyega takes on the role of the serious character, while Foxx, before his stroke, delivers a captivating performance as a typical pimp alongside Parris. The film delves into conspiracy theories involving the use of Black communities as experimental test beds by the US government, with one popular theory involving fried chicken being used as a vehicle for mind or mood-altering drugs. This same conspiracy theory was also used as a central plot point in the comedy film Undercover Brother. They Cloned Tyrone is part of a recent trend of genre films that use cultural storytelling to explore the Black experience, joining the likes of Sorry to Bother You, Get Out, and Antebellum. The film will be available on Netflix next month.
